Short Bio

Louise Bezuidenhout is a Research Officer for the Fairwork South Africa team at CITANDA in the Department of Information Systems at the University of Cape Town.

Louise has PhDs in cardio thoracic surgery (UCT, 2007) and sociology (Exeter, 2013). Most of her work is interdisciplinary and sits at the intersection of critical data studies, empirical ethics, and Science and Technology Studies. Her recent work has focused on topics such as openness and data access in research. Themes of data, justice and digital access – particularly in low/middle-income countries – feature prominently in her work.

For the Fairwork project, Louise will be gathering evidence and producing the Fairwork platform assessment report for South Africa.
