Across the globe, data on voters is being collected, traded and utilised to target them for political influence and shape opinions. But how does this actually happen in practice and how can we start to find out who is actually making this happen? This workshop will introduce participants to the Influence Industry and what it does and provide insights into how researchers can use public data to find out more.

This course is part of the project IMAGE + BIAS that critically engages with the cultural realities being increasingly determined by imperceptible technologies.
