</span><span style="line-height:normal">data</span><span style="line-height:normal"> continues to transform key aspects of our society across economics, politics and culture, the question of
</span><span style="line-height:normal">participation</span><span style="line-height:normal"> has rarely been so pertinent. Democratic processes and traditional avenues for
</span><span style="line-height:normal">participation</span><span style="line-height:normal"> are facing challenges as state-citizen relations are increasingly shaped through
</span><span style="line-height:normal">data</span><span style="line-height:normal"> analytics and automation at the same time as alternative visions for participatory democracy and decision-making have proliferated. As citizens, we are said to be both coerced
and active participants in this shift, both liberated and exploited in the use of digital tools, both more visible and more obscured in
</span><span style="line-height:normal">data</span><span style="line-height:normal">-driven systems. How, then, should we understand civic
</span><span style="line-height:normal">participation</span><span style="line-height:normal"> in the
</span><span style="line-height:normal">data</span><span style="line-height:normal">fied society? In what ways are we positioned as citizens in the advancement of
</span><span style="line-height:normal">data</span><span style="line-height:normal">fication? How are decisions made, governance carried out, and systems created? What possibilities exist to intervene in, influence, create and resist power? Who gets to participate
and on what terms? How might our institutions and government practices need to change? What are strategies for democratising the emergent
</span><span style="line-height:normal">data</span><span style="line-height:normal">fied society? And what are avenues for enhancing citizen and community
</span><span style="line-height:normal">participation</span><span style="line-height:normal">?</span></p>
