Panel | How Can We Adapt Data Practices to Advance Social and Racial Justice?

We are pleased to announce our next event for this quarter, featuring a panel discussion. The Critical Data Practices workshop explores the unique challenges that face the arts and humanities as we ground data-driven insights in real-world human complexity, and in various social, cultural, and historical contexts. The workshop gives particular attention to what the humanities have to say to data practices in the current moment and urges us to critically examine the issues of representation, equity, accessibility, and discoverability.

This panel will focus on the question, “How can we adapt data practices to advance social and racial justice?” Following the short presentations by panelists, we will engage in a discussion about this topic.
