A detailed research poster titled "Insights about 'Representative Data' from a Study on Disability Human Rights in Refugee Contexts" by Philippa Duell-Piening, Ph.D., presented at the AI Fairness conference in Bologna, December 2024. The poster features key findings, including challenges in adhering to human rights law while ensuring representative data, ethical data practices, and the tension between visibility and anonymity for individuals with disabilities in refugee contexts. It incorporates a framework analyzing power dynamics and visibility, and highlights the need for autonomy-respecting data practices. The poster includes citations, a bio of the author, and illustrative examples, such as a case study of an individual who is a blind refugee speaking Tigrinya.
