Abstract
This chapter examines and reflects on three ways of workshopping ‘data in the making’ – redesigning, prototyping, and interfacing – drawing on activities leading towards a collaborative public database on the economic activities and tax contributions of multinational corporations. It examines how prototyping data infrastructures may serve as a method to engage with organizations, groups, and communities who are concerned with or affected by an issue, in order to materialize problems and to support learning which may go on to inform advocacy, policy, and reporting activities. It draws on ‘engaged research-led teaching’ activities with King’s College London, the Public Data Lab, and the Tax Justice Network to consider formats for critically engaging with data as a medium for issue articulation.
