Data Digging and Corporate Watching - Game Design Workshop

'Researching up' or investigating government and corporate practices

4th May 2016 London UK


Kings College London
The Strand Building
4th May 2016
9:30am-4:00pm

This event is organised by The Civic Media Hub at Bournemouth
University and co-hosted by King's College London.

To register for a free place:

'Researching up' or investigating government and corporate practices
is often riddled with obstacles. In place of interview answers, come
streams of PR sound bytes and 'no comment' replies. With lawyers at
ready disposal and PR teams performing 24/7 image-makeovers, the
practices of corporate and government elites often take place behind
layers of concealer.
So how do we strip off these PR masks, hear behind the sound bytes,
and insist that information affecting the public, gets made public?

This interactive game design workshop brings together designers,
artists, programmers, digital culture researchers, corporate watchers,
campaigners and investigative journalists to to co-create an online
education game that will help train people how to do investigative
research into corporations and governments.

Using Corporate Watch's Investigating Companies A Do-It-Yourself
Handbook as a foundation, together we will construct game modules that
share skills for tracking corporate ownership, following finances,
accessing government data, making Freedom of Information Requests, and
talking to companies and workers.

As a workshop participant, you will attend a short Masterclass in
Educational and Serious Game Design led by Bournemouth
University-based Phil Wilkinson from the Centre for Digital
Entertainment. You will then play a variety of games, providing
feedback and insight on your user-experience. Following a second,
short Masterclass on Investigating Corporate Ownership with Corporate
Watch, you will work in groups to collaboratively design paper-based,
mock-ups for our Investigator's Toolkit game.

As this is a participatory workshop that requires a full day
commitment and an enthusiasm for collaborative work, you will be asked
to provide a short paragraph on your interests in attending the event.

Please note that 15 slots are reserved for postgraduate students at
our host institutions: Kings College London and Bournemouth
University. These tickets are also available to postgraduate members
of the MeCCSA Social Movement Network or the Political Studies
Association. If you are a PG student belonging to any of these
categories, please apply for a PG Student ticket.
You will be asked to bring a laptop to this workshop.
​
This event is supported by the Political Studies Association and the
MeCCSA-Social Movements Network, as well as Bournemouth University's
Centre for the Study of Journalism, Culture and Community, the Centre
for Excellence in Media Practice, and the Politics and Media Research
Group . ​
