[Air-L] agency / neutrality of algorithms

[Unsworth,Kristene]

Hi all,

we¹re in the early stages of data analysis on a project related to this.
Here¹s the website: http://ethicsofalgorithms.com/ I¹m currently working
on my abstract for the CfP that Annette Markham put out for ³ethic as
method² it¹s due today, but here¹s the link for that
http://futuremaking.space/ethics/ethic-method-special-issue-social-media-so
ciety-call-papers/ 

So clearly my paper is in a nascent stage, but I welcome this conversation
and will be happy to share what I find.

Kris
