Digitalization is connecting people as never before, leading to a range of new research questions about trust and social cohesion at a distance. This panel explores social trust in institutions and information across national borders, bringing together perspectives from political science, computer science, literary criticism, and anthropology. How and why do we trust information about other nations that we come across in media and literature? Why and to what extent do migrants and refugees crossing national borders trust the institutions and digital services on which they rely? And how can scholars today study social trust in an international perspective: does the digital age invite a one-size-fits-all model, or should approaches be tailored to specific national contexts?

Digitale teknologier kan have en udlignende effekt på samfundet, idet de giver den brede befolkning en stemme i den offentlige debat, men de kan også forstærke og forværre eksisterende fordomme. Når vi møder andre mennesker på internettet ikke som individer, men som en samling af data og billeder, kan vi nemt lade os styret af forudindtagede stereotyper. Panelet undersøger tre situationer, hvor digital diskrimination påvirker beslutningsprocesser - ansættelse, domsfældelse og dating - og diskturer i hvor høj grad denne form for digitalt medieret diskrimination udgør et samfundsfagligt problem, og hvad man kan gøre ved det.

Information infrastructures shape the way we live, think, and make decisions. They are made up of technologies like digital hardware and software, but also forms of collaboration, management, and policymaking. The creation of information infrastructures requires both technical and political work, and these infrastructures have far-reaching consequences for our common future. This session explores the building of information infrastructures as a complex network of innovation, organization, and social values.

Med nye digitale teknologier kan både medarbejdere og ledere løse opgaver på nye måder ved hjælp af data. Det stiller nye krav til offentlige og private lederes digitale lederskab – eksempelvis til deres udøvelse af faglig ledelse og datainformeret visionsledelse. Samtidig er de digitale teknologier selv med til at forme og fremme bestemte typer af ledelsesadfærd. Baseret på helt ny forskning og indsigter fra praktikere i private og offentlige organisationer, diskuterer panelet især ét spørgsmål: Hvordan lykkes vi bedst muligt med at udvikle vores digitale lederskab? Sessionen afholdes som paneldebat.
