Bias in Big Data – How information systems can perpetuate inequality

This event is organized by the One Book One Northwestern Initiative. Moderated by Michelle Birkett, Ph.D., director of the CONNECT Program in ISGMH, this event will present several examples of how social inequalities are present within and perpetuated by data systems. Interactive conversation will be encouraged on how researchers and consumers of research can remain vigilant in detecting and combating this hidden bias.
