I am doing some research on Canada's participation in Statistical
Societies like the American Statistical Society, and as I was perusing
the papers of the ASA's presidents I found the following paper: by the
2005 president Fritz Scheuren
http://asapresidentialpapers.info/documents/Fritz_JASA__2006_%28wla_120809%29_.pdf.
While the paper is not written in a style I particularly like, it does
demonstrate interesting ways where data, data collection methodologies
and statisticians go to work.
Other papers are available here -

Responsibility, Human Rights and Law Program, in particular areas
where geographers, remote sensing and geomatics go to work -
Geospatial Technologies and Human Rights, see the case studies -

future, not its reality" it is the "wish image of the collective".
