#TheMoreYouKnow: Critical Data Practices With New Digital Media and Technologies Toward Justice

Thu, April 21, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Floor: Upper Level, Ballroom 6E

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

There is an urgent need to explore justice-oriented questions of what it means to engage with data, what data is, what gets datafied, and who benefits and gets hurt in the process. As data get commoditized and democratized, new approaches must extend beyond how people learn with/about data to include future-looking arrangements. This symposium attends to the ethical and political dimensions of learners' navigations as they seek to come to know and act in the present and towards desired futures in the increasingly abstracted and datafied world. Panelists and discussants from STEM education, literacy, in/formal education, learning sciences, cultural studies, and critical race studies, share insights on critical data practices as everyday learning and action-taking across space and time.
