Uncovering Ethics in Everyday Data

The “Data For Good” course, created by Devin Fitzpatrick this spring, was featured in OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) in partnership with the Oregon nonprofit Growing Gardens. This piece is phenomenal in conveying the importance of humanities, and the implication of ethics in community work. Sophomore Roma Taylor shares her takeaways from this project, and the practical application of her real-world data experience.

This project was supported by the Mellon Foundation through the CCGH Health + Humanities Community Connections Faculty Grant.
