In this episode, we explore data governance in the humanitarian sector. Our guests are Massimo Marelli, Head of the Data Protection Office at the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Ana Beduschi, a Professor of Law and Strategic Lead on the Fair and Inclusive Society at the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (IDSAI) at the University of Exeter. The conversation is led by Aaron Martin Assistant Professor of Data Science here at UVA.

Together, they discuss topics from the book Data Protection in Humanitarian Action: Responding to Crises in a Data-Driven World. Of note, they share insights on how data regulation is shaping privacy and security for vulnerable communities and the role of international frameworks in addressing these challenges.

We're excited to welcome Margaux Jacks as the new host of our podcast. Margaux is the Creative Manager at the UVA School of Data Science, and producer of the podcast. She is thrilled to bring conversations about the world of data science to our listeners. We are incredibly grateful to Monica Manney for her wonderful work on the previous episodes.
