Against the backdrop of rising global inequalities, misinformation, right-wing authoritarianism, white supremacist incursions, and climate crisis, this talk will discuss the role of data and quantitative approaches to communication from a critical lens. It argues that communication and media play a central role in humanizing information systems and technologies, bridging methodologies divides between social sciences and humanities, and create pathways to find solutions to some of the most urgent social issues of our times. -
