Workshop: Social Facets of Data Science

该项目将资助一个关于数据科学的社会方面的研讨会，使用历史，哲学和社会科学方法。 它将于2016年秋季在Cal Poly举行。该研讨会将汇集历史学家，哲学家，人类学家和数据科学社会学家。他们将共同设计数据科学的科学和技术研究议程。从事数据科学的社会，历史和伦理研究的教师和学生将被邀请参加。该研讨会将有助于推进有关数据科学的知识。它将进一步了解数据科学的社会和文化方面。它将使学生专业化和培训。研讨会的出版物将增加社会？通过讨论数据科学如何、什么、谁、在哪里和为什么来理解数据科学。研讨会将建立一个多学科、多代和多机构的数据科学和技术研究（STS）议程。它旨在成为一个有专家和公众参加的研讨会，以制定研究战略和议程。研讨会将重点关注数据科学的沟通模式、工具、工作风格、分析习惯、标准、视觉策略和职业道德。演讲将通过使用历史，哲学和社会科学方法记录数据科学研究文化的新兴社会方面。讲习班将为STS提供一个机会，将其方法应用于新的科学专业，并为STS提供一个机会，使其成为专业化进程中的一个关键利益攸关方。该研讨会将增加技术专业以外的数据科学的文献和理解。

The project will fund a workshop on the social aspects of data science using historical, philosophical, and social scientific methods. It will be held at Cal Poly in the fall of 2016. The workshop will bring together historians, philosophers, anthropologists, and sociologists of data science. They will work together to design a science and technology studies research agenda for data science. Faculty and students engaged in social, historical and ethical studies of data science will be invited to participate. The workshop will contribute to the advancement of knowledge about data science. It will further understanding of social and cultural aspects of data science. It will professionalize and train students. The workshop's publications will increase society?s understanding of data science by discussing the how, what, who, where and why of data science.The workshop will establish of a multi-disciplinary, multi-generational, and multi-institutional science and technology studies (STS) research agenda on data science. It is designed to be an agenda-setting workshop involving both experts and the general public to produce a research strategy and agenda. The workshop will focus on data science's communication patterns, tools, styles of work, analytical habits, standards, visual strategies, and professional ethics. Presentations will document the emerging social facets of data science research cultures by using historical, philosophical, and social scientific methods. The workshop will offer an opportunity for STS to apply its methods to a new scientific profession and provide STS with a chance to situate itself as a key stakeholder in the professionalization process. The workshop will increase the documentation and understanding of data science beyond the technical profession.
