Information practice, responsibility, and the ability to respond

In situations when digital systems exacerbate bias and injustice, who should be held responsible? Who is in a position to respond effectively? This poster 1) critiques dominant rhetoric concerning responsibility and the ability to respond to the influence of digital information systems; 2) argues for the field of information science to contribute to this discussion beyond a focus on policy; and 3) calls for information scientists to draw upon and extend information practice scholarship by applying it as a generative lens for conceptualizing responsibility in relation to ethical data stewardship.
