Levien Nordeman - lecturer, researcher and writer about data, AI and society

Hi, I am Levien Nordeman, I am a lecturer, researcher and writer in the field of data, data literacy and society.

I am a bit obsessed with everything related to the datafied society we live in. Luckily I can work for Communication and Multimedia Design (CMD) and the Master Data Driven Design (MDDD) at the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences.

In March 2023 my book about how to live with data was published by Bot Publishers. It is called Het Spiegelpaleis van data: hoe wetenschappers, ontwerpers en toekomstverkenners algoritmes en AI toegankelijk maken.

You can order the book at the website of bot publishers or buy the book at your local book store
