For those interested in the details 🧐
A detailed research poster titled "Insights about 'Representative Data' from a Study on Disability Human Rights in Refugee Contexts" by Philippa Duell-Piening, Ph.D., presented at the AI Fairness conference in Bologna, December 2024. The poster features key findings, including challenges in adhering to human rights law while ensuring representative data, ethical data practices, and the tension between visibility and anonymity for individuals with disabilities in refugee contexts. It incorporates a framework analyzing power dynamics and visibility, and highlights the need for autonomy-respecting data practices. The poster includes citations, a bio of the author, and illustrative examples, such as a case study of an individual who is a blind refugee speaking Tigrinya.

AI Fairness highlight: listening to Prof. Payal Arora discuss co-designing AI teaching materials with marginalized communities to challenge stereotypes. She emphasized the need to balance authenticity with dignity: "Some situations people don't want photographed." Looking forward reading her book!

Had a fantastic day at the AI Fairness event in Bologna! Inspiring speakers from academia and industry, fascinating conversations during the breaks, and a new book for the train ride home. I also received some great feedback on my poster and have a few exciting leads to follow-up!
A woman wearing glasses, a bright red sweater, and a white collared shirt is smiling in front of a research poster. The poster is titled, *"Insights about ‘representative data’ from a study on disability human rights in refugee contexts: Can data truly be representative without compromising autonomy?"* The poster includes sections on representative data, disability data in refugee contexts, and a framework for analysis, with text, diagrams, and visuals. The setting appears to be a conference or academic event, with the poster pinned to a light-colored wall.

So this venue is pretty amazing
A lecture hall with ornate, painted ceilings depicting classical architecture and nature scenes. The front of the room features a large projector screen displaying a presentation titled "AI Fairness: Addressing Bias, Stereotypes, and Discrimination in AI Systems." Attendees are seated in rows of chairs, and a few individuals are gathered near the stage area, which includes tables, a computer setup, and the Italian flag. Natural light filters in through tall windows on both sides of the room.

Legal scholars love words, and this is my attempt to squeeze my research into 600 words. It took me three days! Also, feeling I could be a graphic designer if academia doesn’t work out. Looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts during the networking lunch. #InclusiveData #AIFairness #Networking
A poster titled "Insights about 'representative data' from a study on disability and human rights in refugee contexts: Can data truly be representative without compromising autonomy?" is displayed on a table. The poster includes sections on representative data, disability data in refugee contexts, a framework for analysis, and implications. It features a large diagram in the center, summarizing key concepts related to data representation, autonomy, and human rights. Several bullet points and paragraphs detail the study’s findings, analysis, and conclusions. At the bottom, there is an "About the Author" section with a small portrait photo.

The 'voluntary' diversity questions in HR systems feel contradictory. The 'required' asterisk (*) feels wrong, especially when the page claims participation is 'voluntary.'
At least this organisation includes an 'I prefer not to say' option—something many forget. It still feels uncomfortable.
The image displays a series of diversity-related survey questions with asterisks indicating required fields. The questions are as follows: "Which of the following best describes your gender identity? *" "Gender assigned at birth *" "Is your gender identity the same as the sex you were assigned at birth? *" "What is your sexual orientation? *" "What is your ethnicity? *" "Which of the following terms best describes your religious beliefs? *" "Do you consider yourself to have a disability? *" "Please select your age category from the below *" Each question is listed individually with clear spacing between them.

Tired eyes after a day of proofreading the typeset proofs of my monograph. A new format is useful for finding errors! I started the day anxious about whether I would like my work after the 12mth process of getting it published. In my humble opinion, there are still a few interesting ideas in there.
Title page for a book. At the top is says 'Copyright material - Provided by Taylor & Francis. Proof Review Only - Not for Distribution'. This is followed by the title of the book 'Refugee Displacement, Disability and Human Rights: The production, processing and power of data'. The last line has the author's name: Philippa Duell-Piening
