We cannot view humans in neat segments that favor one over another. No. To build real inclusion, we must accept data is for everyone.
Hi, I am Meena, CEO @Namaste Data.
Welcome to Data Is For Everyone, an evolving virtual data school - with offerings on data, research, AI, and analytics. This space is designed to build a collection of data-focused courses and workshops that the community needs now. You can find a range of topics here - from data collection with the lens of equity and inclusion to analytics tools, practices, and processes. Together, you and I will contribute to this school with our collective wisdom.
At the core of this school's mission is the recognition that data, in its messiness and complexity, holds the power to transform lives. However, this transformation can be a double-edged sword. Without a firm grounding in data equity, the use of data can perpetuate biases, widen existing social divides, and create new forms of inequality. By collective learning in the nuances of data analysis and AI, this school is taking significant steps toward ensuring that these powerful tools are used to foster inclusion, fairness, and the betterment of our world.
