A Social Sciences Week event

  • How did data from online teen relationship forums help the Alannah & Madeline Foundation develop a social media campaign that prevents online abuse?
     
  • What happened when a team of social scientists and data scientists collaborated with the Melbourne not-for-profits to visualise social impact through data analytics?
     
  • How are Swinburne researchers and the Red Cross working together to identify and map community resources for crisis response?

In this lunchtime webinar, researchers from the Swinburne node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society and the Social Innovation Research Institute share practical insights from recent interdisciplinary research partnerships with industry that brought social scientists and data scientists together for social impact.
