Join us for an evening all about data ethics. The evening’s presentation and panel discussion will raise awareness about a number of ethical issues around data, challenge some common assumptions and give Data for Good members resources about emerging practices for addressing risks related to data ethics.

We’ll cover just what exactly data ethics are, who needs to pay attention to data ethics and how to go about being ethical with data. Karen Morton will give a brief overview of key considerations for data ethics (including governance, practices, interpretation, anonymization, and privacy legislation). This will be followed by a question and answer period with several local practitioners, discussing practical issues and challenges. The evening is designed to be interactive, so bring your questions.

Kiran is an interdisciplinary researcher with degrees in pharmacy (UBC), law (UVic), health research (McMaster), and bioethics (University of Calgary). Her doctoral dissertation used legal, ethical and qualitative research tools to examine roles and responsibilities in the transition from hospital to medically-complex pediatric homecare. Following her PhD, Kiran completed 3 years of postdoctoral research with PolicyWise for Children & Families. During this time, she led a comprehensive data governance research strategy that used multiple methods (legal and ethical analysis, qualitative focus groups and interviews, and online quantitative surveys) to effect policy analysis and stakeholder engagement (with parents and health researchers) to inform the privacy and governance strategies of a provincial data repository. Kiran’s work has been funded by externally-funded salary and research grant support, at provincial and national levels. In September 2017, Kiran began a nationally-funded fellowship with Alberta Health Services and the University of Alberta to develop her experience and expertise in clinically- and policy- relevant stakeholder-engagement research at the health system level.
