This article is focused on selected aspects of the economic ‘fate’ of Tourism and Recreation graduates of the University of Łódź (UŁ). Its aim is to seek answers to the question: ‘What determines graduate employment?’ Surveys conducted by the Career Office of University of Łódź among graduates one year after graduation in 2014, 2015 and 2016 are the empirical basis. Tourism and Recreation graduates were compared with others from the Faculty of Geographical Sciences UŁ. The logistic regression technique was used to predict the status of graduate employment based on independent variables. The strongest predictors of graduate employment were structural and institutional characteristics. The quantitative results were interpreted in the context of the modern role of universities.

Artykuł dotyczy wybranych aspektów ekonomicznych losów absolwentów kierunku „turystyka i rekreacja” Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Celem autora jest poszukiwanie odpowiedzi na pytanie: „Od czego zależy status zatrudnienia absolwenta?”. Podstawę empiryczną stanowiły wyniki badań sondażowych prowadzonych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki w latach: 2014, 2015 i 2016 wśród absolwentów rok po ukończeniu studiów. Porównano losy zawodowe absolwentów turystyki i rekreacji z innymi absolwentami Wydziału Nauk Geograficznych UŁ. Zastosowano model regresji logistycznej w celu przewidywania statusu zatrudnienia absolwenta na podstawie wybranych zmiennych. Uzyskano dokładność przewidywań na poziomie 75%. Najsilniejszymi predyktorami statusu zatrudnienia były charakterystyki strukturalno-instytucjonalne. Wyniki ilościowe zinterpretowano w kontekście współczesnej roli uniwersytetów.

Problematykę podjęto z powodu epistemologicznych „obietnic”, pojawiających się wśród entuzjastów Big Data. Przedyskutowano możliwości wykorzystania Big Data jako metody czy techniki badań społecznych. Krytycznej ocenie poddano wspomniane „obietnice” oraz popularne w środowisku Big Data hasła o śmierci ekspertów. Wnioski dotyczą szans i zagrożeń poznawczych, szczególnie w naukach społecznych. Uznano, że stosowanie Big Data może być narzędziem poznania świata w różnych dziedzinach życia. Niezbędne jest jednak podejście sceptyczne. Dla socjologów poznawanie samego zjawiska przedstawiono jako cenne dla rozumienia społeczeństwa informacyjnego. Wskazano także możliwy kierunek przyszłych badań Big Data.

The problem was taken up by the epistemological promises emerging among the Big Data enthusiasts. There have been discussions about the use of Big Data as a method or a technique for social research. Also, the promises mentioned above and the common ‘the end of experts’ slogan were criticised. Conclusions concern cognitive opportunities and risks, especially in the social sciences. It was considered that Big Data could be known as a knowledge acquisition tool. However, a strong skeptical approach is necessary. For sociologists, exploring the phenomenon itself is valuable for understanding the information society. The possible direction of future Big Data research is also indicated.

The author claims that due to the effectiveness and multiplicity of potential uses for databases (for instance, for “big data,” artificial intelligence) the business world is taking an almost incredible interest in their implementation. One proof is the momentum of the eighth edition of the Big Data & AI Congress. This text reports on that Warsaw conference. The author first presents the emotions that were obvious during the course of the event-the enthusiasm and expectations of business in regard to this kind of technology-and then points out and characterizes, with the eye of a sociologist, the areas of the subject left unaddressed. These are the manifold social consequences of the use and development of big data or so-called artificial intelligence, that is, the growth of income inequality at the same time as the outwardly positive growth in general incomes, the preservation of mechanisms of exclusion and discrimination, and the treatment of large groups of users as objects through applications based on data analysis.

The paper refers to the research Trash in the Wild: A Pilot Project Mapping Citizenship Environmental Activism in the Collaborative Study in the Lodz Area. In the study, inhabitants of Lodz (Poland) were invited to participate in data gathering and create a map of unauthorized dumps in their city. The collaborative mapping was intended to localize problematic spots in the city of Lodz, but it also shows civic commitment and the inhabitants’ ecological consciousness level. The authors based on ethnographic data (observations, walk-alongs, interviews, and data obtained from institutions), attempting to develop a situational analysis of the phenomenon of illegal dumps in the city. The analysis reveals how different positions of the City Guard, Municipal Economy Department, waste disposal companies, journalists, environmental activists, researchers, and citizens participating in the project vary their standpoints and views on the studied problem. Presenting the context and first results of the research, the authors refer to the issue of building relationships with researched subjects during the investigation process. Trying to navigate between them, researchers strive to introduce their different, sometimes contradictory, viewpoints into the research, not losing their commitment and the valuable data they can submit. The analysis shows that the issue of illegal dumps lies at the intersection of many discourses and involves numerous social worlds, organizations, and entities. In this dynamic situation, many practices and conditions contribute to the persistence of the problem of illegal waste disposal.
