Yesterday as part of the MSc Digital Anthropology @DigiAnth, we paired up a group of anthropology students and a group of computer science students to work together on a shared problem about tackling social bias in data. @ulfaslak explains what we did and how it went...
Replying to @ulfaslak
(2/7): On study tour in London with my DIS neural networks class we visited @Hannahcknox and Antonia Walford and their digital anthropology students at @UCLanthropology, basically mixing two groups (~20 in each) of students interested in AI/ML/DS, but with very different lenses.

Data is great, but it doesn’t always tell you why something is a certain way or how people feel about it. That’s why, when it comes to providing support for our network of local charities, we’re taking time to step back and think about the whole picture bit.ly/2VTAAdh

Ok @kaisirlin would like the @Hannahcknox's and @dawnnafus's book to rather be titled "Ethnography for a material-saturated world" or "Ethnography for a fieldnote-saturated world" 🤷‍♂️😉. @ethosITU #ethnography #anthropology
