Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Data are said to be the new fuel of our knowledge economies. Already before the Covid-19 pandemic, there were considerable expectations in the healthcare sector regarding the economic and societal benefits of big data: healthcare could become more inclusive and personalized, treatment options more effective and efficient. With Covid-19, health policy has taken center stage and is affecting our lives to an unprecedented degree. The design of Covid-19 response policies and public health interventions requires evidence. What is the role of health data in this context? How does the pandemic change data-related practices and regulation in and beyond the area of public health? What does this mean for the ‘datafication’ of health and care in the long run?In this seminar, we apply the tools of critical policy studies to address these questions. We will discuss data-related practices and governance in the healthcare sector in the Covid-19 context and beyond. We will investigate sources and types of health data, and discuss current and possible future forms of use. Students will acquire an overview of political, legal and ethical debates surrounding big data in health. The field of study is particularly suited to apply and develop a critical understanding of key approaches and concepts in policy studies (problem definition and framing, struggles around defintions, policy design, etc.).In light of the current regulatory requirements and university policy, the seminar will be a hybrid of online/distance and offline learning. The seminar will include traditional elements (presentations, reading, discussion and writing), self-study exercises as well as interactive panel sessions and optional field activities.UPDATE 14 Sep 2020: Given the current situation and the outcomes of a recent departmental meeting, the seminar will be held in digital form. We will meet virtually in a BigBlueButton room (details to be shared via moodle in advance) and only see each other physically on selected occasions for small discussion groups. The dates for these meetings will be communicated in advance. You can also participate in the seminar if you are not able to attend any physical sessions.
Assessment and permitted materials
The performance assessment is based on participation in class and written inputs (see below). Attendance is required in the first class 16.10 and, overall, not more than two classes can be missed (‘prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung’). In justified cases, compensatory extra work might allow students who miss more than two classes to finish the course.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
There are three mandatory assignments:
- Short written statement on health data-related media content (provided via moodle) (10%)
- One of the following (25%):
o Briefing note and participation in a simulated panel/commission
o Written concept of field research and oral presentation of results
- a written research paper (concept and final paper to be handed in via moodle on the specified deadlines) (10% for the concept, 40% full paper)Attendance, reading assignments and active participation in class account for 15% of the overall assessment.
