EVENT: Working with Data for Social Change Symposium

The interdisciplinary project team, Data Advocacy for All, from the University of Colorado Boulder and University of Colorado Denver, is hosting a one-day hybrid symposium, Working with Data for Social Change on March 14, 2025.

This event brings together local and national scholars who have engaged in digital public humanities projects to advocate for social change and who have worked to strengthen ethical data humanities education in higher education. Together, we will explore how data-driven projects can address contemporary social issues while contributing to the humanities at large as well as how higher education can do more to prepare students for data advocacy work in their local communities and future careers.

Featured speakers include Sylvia Fernández Quintanilla (United Fronteras, Torn Apart/Separados), Melanie Walsh (Responsible Data Sets in Context),  Melissa Borja (Virulent Hate Project), and Nasreen Abd Elal (Visualizing Palestine).
