Join us to explore ways to bring a social equity lens to every stage of your data work. Learn new strategies and share your experiences.
During this session, we will be focusing on how to bring a social equity lens to every stage of a data project. We are honored to have Samaila Adelaiye, Research and Policy Fellow at the Connecticut Voices for Children and Community of Practice Committee Member, who will be reviewing the research he has previously done and will share lessons learned for bringing equitable practices to every stage of the research process. We will then open the floor to hear from you, so we can learn strategies from one another, share our experiences, and explore other ways to bring equity to our data work. We hope to see you there!
About this group:
We are a group of data users in Connecticut who are supporting one another as we work toward more equitable data practices. We focus on racial equity explicitly but not exclusively.
Some of the topics we talk about include:
How can we make sure we don't make certain groups invisible through how we disaggregate our data?
How can we learn to focus our attention on the strengths, rather than the deficits, of groups we are seeking to serve or support?
How can we learn from the people who we hope will benefit from our products or services about what their data means to them?
How can we help the institutions that we are part of to be trustworthy so that people will trust us with their information/data?
You can read more about our past events here.
Please feel free to check out the group. And if it is helpful, please share it!
