"Unconference" Format: Equity in Data Community of Practice (August 2022)

During this session, we are discussing topics chosen by YOU! A community of practice is guided by the community, not by any one organiztion or entity. We are leaning into the spirit of this community this month by having YOU, the community members, both suggest topics you would like to discuss (and “host” a group discussing that topic") and choosing the topics you would like to participate in during the session. Topics include:

  • Sharing experiences and ideas about how to talk about and conceptualize race, ethnicity, and nationality

  • Why, how, and when to collect and use qualitative data

  • Community Participatory Action Research

  • You've found evidence of bias - now what?

  • What is "equity in data"?

  • Best practices in data equity

  • Identifying and Avoiding Misleading Data Visualizations

  • Meaningful engagement of people in the data

  • And more!

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.
