Massive availability of data and regulating ways of extracting data from end users has been a conundrum for regulators globally. Additionally, data protection laws on the global level often fall flat on grasping local specificities and subjective negotiations with respect to people’s strategy of engaging with data on an everyday basis. Our speakers, Dr. Linnet Taylor and Siddharth Peter de Souza posit a justice-based governance framework to assess international norm- building for data governance besides evaluating the ways in which justice materializes at the ground level of the user. The speakers illustrate the ‘Global Data Justice’ project and also engage with a set of enthralling questions from the live audience. Guest profile:  Linnet Taylor is Associate Professor at the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT), in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on digital data, representation and democracy, with particular attention to transnational governance issues. She leads the ERC Global Data Justice project, which aims to develop a social-justice-informed framework for governance of data technologies on the global level. Siddharth Peter de Souza is a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Global Data Justice project at the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT). He is interested in the role data plays at the intersection of law and development, and works on how to think of questions of data governance in plural legal contexts.  Hosts: Prabhat Mishra & Mandira Narain
