The Turing Way: Building a collaborative guide to ethical data science
Write the full name of the institution(s) that should be credited publicly as the host of the session. If you have more than one host, separate them using a semicolon (e.g. "Access Now; RightsCon"). If your session is not affiliated with an institution, you can write “Independent.”
The Alan Turing Insitute
Tech Demo - A brief (8-10 minute), prepared presentation on a new technology, tool, or technical project. Demos are recorded in advance of the summit.
In a few sentences, tell us what you plan to demo. (Yes, we know it’s not much space – make it count!)
Data scientists make data-driven decisions throughout the lifecycle of their projects. It is their duty to ensure that their work maintains a high level of moral integrity as well as the highest scientific standards, especially, when it impacts people’s lives. In this presentation, we will introduce The Turing Way, an open source book project that involves and supports its diverse community in developing and sharing resources that make data science reproducible, ethical, collaborative and inclusive. In particular, we will demonstrate the Turing Way guide for Ethical Research, the community behind its development, and its human rights-centred approach to data science ethics as a practice that includes activism for change. Most importantly, we will demonstrate how RightsCon attendees can get involved!
Now’s the time to sell yourself as a speaker. Don’t hold back.
Laura is a human rights researcher who is one of the Ethics Guide collaborators: as well as developing content that is practical and accessible for data researchers, she also guides new contributors as a new open science contributor herself!
Malvika is the Community Manager of The Turing Way. She is based at The Alan Turing Institute in the United Kingdom and brings her extensive experience in open science and collaboration to a global community spanning 6 continents.
