Big Issues for Big Data

We consider a prospect for working with big data in an open and critical framework, focusing on a set of issues underlying the collection and analysis of big data. In particular we consider the issues of critical data analysis and placing individual data science studies in a wider social and economic context, the role of inferential theory in the presence of big data, and issues relating to messiness and complexity in big data.
