This talk will explore the importance of approaching secondary data with a critical eye. Reusing existing datasets – whether from government agencies, social media platforms, or online repositories – saves time and resources and often provides a broader view than starting from scratch. However, it also poses unique challenges: the data may be incomplete, outdated, or gathered with different priorities. This session explores both the advantages of and concerns with working with secondary data, highlighting considerations such as privacy and data ownership.
