Andrea Rosales is Associated Professor, at the Communication Studies of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, in topics related to big data, data analytics, and data visualization in social media. Her research focuses on the challenges of datafied societies, the impact of stereotypes and design biases on automated, algorithm-based decisions. She explores how it impacts data justice and power distribution particularly, but not only, regarding age-based discrimination (ageism), and how automated decisions deprioritize, disregard or disempower minorities and disadvantaged collectives by not considering their values, interests, and habits.
