Congratulations to Dr. Wendy H. Wong B.C.-based scholar and UBC Okanagan professor Wendy H. Wong has won the prestigious 2024 Balsillie Prize for Public Policy for her groundbreaking book, We, The Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age. This annual $60,000 award recognizes outstanding nonfiction works that advance public discourse in Canada. We, The Data is a powerful exploration of how pervasive data collection shapes our lives and challenges human rights in the digital era. The book calls for policies that protect human dignity and autonomy, ensuring that data serves to empower humanity rather than hinder progress. https://lnkd.in/g6JRwddv https://lnkd.in/gWw5Ekjr
