Research
Madison's doctoral research examines public data governance, with a specific focus on the relationship between privacy law, government infrastructure, and community organizations. Her work addresses tensions between contemporary datafication and the social good by focusing on the data strategies of government institutions and community organizations in Canada across municipal, provincial, and federal levels. Through this research, Madison hopes to develop sociotechnical policy interventions that can support collective governance models.
