This month I officially started my NWO Veni project. Over the next 4 years, I’ll combine data donations, longitudinal diaries and in-depth interviews to study how people encounter, engage with, and make sense of societal issues. If you’re working on something similar, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Data donation is hot, but do participants understand what they consent to? Using think-aloud protocols and interviews, we found many missed key features like searching and deleting data. To improve informed consent, we suggest adding (some) friction through play ⏯️
