The DSI Data, Media and Society Center uses data generated by people and data about people to understand human behavior.

We study the ways in which we can use data to understand human behavior, and we address questions about how data and data processing are shaping how we work, how we live, and what it means to be a person in a networked, digitized world. We also design and build new tools for using data collections inside and outside of the University.

We are a diverse group of creative technologists, designers and scientists. with participants from the fields of architecture, the humanities, the social sciences, education, journalism, computer science, and engineering.
