School of Public Policy (SPP) Associate Professor Gina Neff is a founding member of the Board of Advisors of Data & Society Research Institute, an international policy center that will explore some of the ways that new types of data are transforming our world. Neff explains, “There are enormous implications, which we don’t fully understand, due to the quantity and types of data that are being collected all the time. There is an urgent need for a place like Data & Society, which sits at the intersection of government policy, industry, NGOs, and academic research.”
