Trying to analyze trends in race and ethnicity using Census data? Join us for an in-depth look at how race and ethnicity data is collected and how you can use it appropriately in your work. In this webinar, we'll:

• Examine where to find race/ethnicity data in different Census Bureau products

• Discuss the difference between the ways race and ethnicity are reported

• Review the history of race/ethnicity questions on the Census

• Discuss ethical considerations when using race and ethnicity data for analysis

• Explain important factors that impact data analysis

You'll come away with a greater understanding of the nuances of Census race/ethnicity data so you can avoid common pitfalls and use the statistics accurately and responsibly.

Featuring Cynthia Willner (Senior Research Associate) and Jason Cheung (Senior Data Analyst) of CTData.

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?
