SUMMARY:Improving Digital Inclusivity on Local Government Websites using the “Hidden Cues” in Data
DESCRIPTION:The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS)\, in partnership with Interpersonal Frequency\, will host a free webinar\, on “Improving Digital Inclusivity on Local Government Websites using the “Hidden Cues” in Data” on Wednesday\, November 2 at 12 PM ET. \nIn theory\, digital spaces can provide both services and better quality of life to more people than ever before. In practice\, too many government websites are not serving diverse populations equally. You want your website to do better and attract historically underprivileged categories\, but how do you begin? In this webinar\, you’ll learn how civic analytics can give solid clues about how to build a more inclusive government website. Interpersonal Frequency founder Harish R. Rao will reveal our 2021 Government Benchmarking report with user success data with insight on how to attract those digitally left behind\, and help you decide where to invest your next research funds. Plus\, he’ll discuss unique insights learned from I.F.’s in-depth website discovery process with cities and counties. We will also cover “hidden” insights buried in the benchmarks\, like the services that municipal government web users most want — but often fail to find or receive. \nView a recording of the event here.

SUMMARY:Building an Inclusive and Transformative Data Strategy in Research and Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS)\, in partnership with the UNC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research\, will host a conversation on Building an Inclusive and Transformative Data Strategy in Research and Community Engagement on Thursday\, October 13 at 11 AM ET. \nThe COVID pandemic and racial justice protests across the country have sparked new conversations regarding race\, racism\, and social justice in nearly every aspect of American society. From housing\, health care\, employment\, and wealth accumulation to education and policing\, policies\, practices\, and institutions are being re-examined through the lens of anti-racism and equity. Data\, and the systems that create and rely upon data\, have been no exception. \nIn this online seminar\, audiences will hear from interdisciplinary experts as they define data equity and discuss considerations of the ways in which data are collected\, analyzed\, interpreted\, and distributed. This discussion will explore ways that data can reinforce stereotypes\, exacerbate problems like racial bias\, or otherwise undermine social justice. Finally\, we will discuss how data equity can empower communities\, yield informed decision making\, and share best practices for inclusivity and improving data equity. \nThe event will be moderated by Dr. Essie Torres\, Director of Strategy for Research Diversity Workforce and Community Partnerships at the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. Our panelists include: \n\nDr. Kristin Black — ECU Department of Health Education and Promotion\nDr. Trenette Goings – UNC School of Social Work\nDr. Iheoma Iruka — UNC Department of Public Policy\nMr. Milton Suggs — UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute\n\nView a recording of the event here.
