Through the research practicum, students will be applying a data justice framework to a research question. Upon completion of the research project, students will more deeply understand the connections between critical data theory and data justice. Their knowledge and skills will be assessed through check-ins, an annotated bibliography, a literature review, a prospectus, and a poster on that research presented at Scholars Academic Showcase. Their research will have an orientation towards building equity in the Information and technology sector, building community awareness around data justice issues, or supporting existing work on a community data justice issue.
