Course description

Anonymization minimizes the risk data processing stages and can also enable data sharing and reuse. At the same time, full data anonymization is often difficult, especially when working with qualitative and context-sensitive data such as interviews, audio and video recordings and images. 

We will also present practical aspects of data minimization, including strategies for pseudonymizing and anonymizing interviews, surveys, and different types of observational data. There will be also a possibility of asking questions relating to individual dataset’s anonymization.

Target audience

  • Students and researches at UiO.

Learning outcomes

  • You will have learned the primary considerations necessary when gathering personal data within a research context.
  • You will have learned about the importance of data anonymization in research, core definitions and concepts relating to anonymization and challenges facing especially qualitative and context-sensitive data.
