Bias, Miscommunication, and Equity in Data: Part 2
Researchers producing and using data face similar but unique, challenges in data management, data sharing, reproducible research, and preservation. Researchers have a tremendous responsibility to ensure that the data they produce, and share is equitable as it impacts individuals and communities the world over. When data is collected and shared incorrectly, it can advance inequities, bias, and even violence. Researchers must be aware of methods to mitigate these and how to generate data that is free of bias, is equitable, and inclusive to avoid any miscommunication and/or ambiguity regarding their data. Data Day 2022 highlights these challenges and showcases solutions and opportunities in which we can re-examine data through an equity lens.
Data Day 2022 will be held in April 12, 2022, and will offer online panel discussions centered around the theme of bias, miscommunication, and equity in data. We have a panel of data experts and a keynote address. We will be holding Power Sessions for interactive training.
