Love Data: Measuring Cultural Impact with Community-Based Research

Love Data: Measuring Cultural Impact with Community-Based Research Online

Join us on a panel by expert researchers from the University of Rochester (UR) and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) working at the intersection of data, cultural impact, and community-based research. The speakers’ research covers topics including American Indian and Alaska Native identity; Black feminist theories and theatre; Afro-Latin America and the cultural politics of leisure; mechanics of diverse populations relating to injury and disease risk; and crime, law, deviance, race, ethnicity, migration, and the African diaspora. 

Hear about topics such as data stewardship, while capturing diverse perspectives, the importance of inclusive data representation, and the impact of data-driven decision-making on Black and Indigenous communities. Participants will have the opportunity to hear perspectives and ask questions of researchers in a wide array of disciplines.
