Biography

Dr. Mark Wong is a Senior Lecturer (also known as, Associate Professor) in Public Policy & Research Methods and Deputy Head of Urban Studies, which ranked joint-1st in the UK Research Excellence Framework [REF] 2014. He is also the incoming (joint-)Lead for the new Social and Urban Policy subject group. 

Mark is an expert in digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy, his work focuses on three key intersecting areas:

1) Responsible AI & racial bias,
2) Anti-racism & racial justice, and
3) Innovative co-design methods - to amplify adversely racialised people's voice and expertise in tech development, e.g. AI, data, and video games. 

Mark's research tackles racial discrimination and bias in AI/data, highlighting how they perpetuate systemic racism, racialisation, and historical patterns of inequities. He is also an expert in co-design/participatory methodologies and social data science analytics, including Social Network Analysis (SNA). 

Mark holds a PhD in Social Policy from the University of Edinburgh. He has a substantial track record publishing in top-ranked international peer-review journals (e.g. New Media and Society, Information, Communication and Society), giving invited talks/panels/seminars at international conferences and events, regularly interviewed by media (e.g. BBC Radio 5Live, BBC Scotland, The Sunday Times), and substantial research funding and external engagement. 

Mark has strong experience of developing responsible AI and data innovations, ensuring they are co-designed in equitable and sustainable ways, in the public sector as well as games and creative industries.

He's given expert advice for the Scottish Government, public health, and industry. Most notably, he was appointed by the Scottish Ministers as a member of the Scottish Government’s "Interim Governance Group on Developing an Anti-Racist Infrastructure”, and he is currently the Co-Chair of the Design Advisory Group. His research and expert advice have had a significant impact on informing the design of the future Anti-Racism Observatory for Scotland (AROS), announced by the First Minister in the Programme for Government in Sept 2023. In addition, Mark has served in other advisory roles for the Scottish Government, Public Health Scotland, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, offering advice on racism/anti-racism and co-design of digital infrastructure at a national Scottish level. 

Mark's research has examined issues of algorithmic harm in data/AI transformations. He's also developed  innovative co-design methods for equitable digital service, responsible AI (e.g. participatory AI auditing), and sustainable game development with adversely racialised people.

His research has been reported in major news media, e.g. The Sunday Times, The Times Scotland, Vice UK. He's also provided interviews for media and journalists (e.g. the Herald, Future Scot, and online documentaries). Examples of his appearance ranges from live radio, live recorded podcasts (e.g. UofG Spotlight, Disrupting the Doughnut of Doom), and videos (e.g. workshop, short film). Mark was selected for the College of Social Sciences external engagement first cohort and received external media training. 

He has provided interviews on how data and algorithms deepen social inequalities and the changing era of social media. He has also been interviewed for a UofG Spotlight podcast (Ep. 30 - 18:32) discussing the importance of data in policymaking and how to avoid biases. 

For media enquiries, please email or call Mark directly and he will respond as quickly as he can within the day if possible. 

CURRENT RESEARCH, PROJECTS & AWARDS

Mark has a strong track record of publishing single-authored articles in top peer-review journals in his field, e.g. New Media and Society (one of the top-2 journals in media and communication studies, Impact Factor: 8.061) and Housing Studies (top-3 journal in housing research, Impact Factor: 3.516). He has also published several co-authored articles in other high-impact journals. 

Mark is actively involved in leading interdisciplinary research and innovations.

RESPONSIBLE AI and CODESIGN DIGITAL SERVICES:

Mark is the Co-investigator and chair of the partners and stakeholders engagement committee for the £4.43-million "Participatory Harm Auditing Workbenches and Methodologies (PHAWM)" project, funded by the Responsible AI UK/UKRI. He is also work package lead for the £3.34-million "Protecting Minority Ethnic Community Online" (PRIME) project, funded by the UKRI strategic priorities fund. 

RESPONSIBLE GAMES AND SUSTAINABILITY:

Mark was the Principal Investigator of the "Innovators Assemble" project, which developed a video game, "SEvEN: Seven Voices, One Future", to amplify Minoritised Ethnic's people's voices and traditional ecological knowledge in Scotland's sustainable futures.

SEvEN was nominated for the Scottish Games Awards 2023 ("Spirit of Scotland" category), one of the most prestigious awards in the Scottish games industry. 

The game provides a thought-provoking narrative about a future of Scotland where the voice and actions of Minoritised Ethnic people are centred. The game highlights real-life climate actions that are Minoritised Ethnic-led and is set in a virtual replica of the Western Scottish Highlands using satellite images. 

The project (funded by Research England/Aspect Network, £10.1K) promoted gaming and game development as a pathway for innovation for social science and arts/humanities research.

The project developed a toolkit, providing a beginners guide for those interested in game development for research innovation and academic-industry-community partnership. The project partners include Education Evolved Ltd., Ethnic Minority Environmental Network (EMEN), the Floating Designer, and was hosted by the UofG Games and Gaming Lab. 

In 2024, Mark was part of the organising committee/Conference Chair of the highly-acclaimed International Social Media and Society Conference 2024.  

In 2020-21, Mark served as the Co-Chair of the University Shadow Board, which contributes to the University strategy and Senior Management Group decision-making, and it influenced change in the University through ideas, actions, and diverse voices.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE, IMPACT & EXTERNAL ENGAGEMENT

Methodologically, Mark is interested and has been involved in several research projects working with innovations in social data science methods, including "big data" analytics, Social Network Analysis (SNA), network visualisations, social media data (e.g. twitter data), and linked data.

Mark has worked with several external partners, including providing consultancy for the Scottish Government in developing a new methodology for one of the National Indicators in the Scottish Government's National Performance Framework, a flagship policy measuring Scotland's outcomes against the UN Sustainable Development Goals, using Social Network Analysis (SNA).

Mark was a member of the Public Health Scotland's Scottish Migrant and Ethnic Health Research Strategy Group. He was also an external advisor and member of several working groups in the Scottish Government, e.g. the Data & Intelligence Network, Primary Care Data, Vaccination Ethnicity Data Collection, and currently Race and Ethnicity Data in Health and Social Care. 

He has provided expert advice on the collection of ethnicity data in the COVID-19 vaccination programme, making a distinct contribution to close Scotland’s ethnic data gap. He was also invited to provide advice to improve the data infrastructure on protected characteristics of the Scottish population. This work has helped transform the practice, policy, and data system design of how ethnicity and protected characteristics data are collected and used in public sectors to tackle health and social inequalities in Scotland.
