Jill Robinson (BCU) Beatfreeks, Big Data and me: reflections so far
 In this talk I begin with a consideration of some of the challenges presented by the broad scope of my research topic: the contribution of Big Data and Data Visualization to young people’s social and cultural inequalities. I go on to reflect on undertaking a collaborative PhD with my creative industries partner, Beatfreeks Collective. Finally, I propose to share   some of the themes which have emerged from the first few months of our working together and their implications for  my research going forward.
