Leading Equitable Data Practices
Workshops overview
Building a more equitable world through responsible data practices
In our Leading Equitable Data Practices workshops, you will learn the foundations of data equity and data ethics through an intersectional approach. You'll walk away with practical tools that you can apply to promote equitable, ethical practices in your data work.
We believe that if you work with data that is related to people, you have a responsibility to ensure that you're taking an equitable and ethical approach to your data practice. Whether you're a data team leader, a data engineer, a data scientist, a data-informed decision-maker, a database administrator, or just getting started as a data analyst, you play a critical role in fighting for and implementing equity in data.
We offer two types of workshops: our public workshops, which are open to all data practitioners and those whose work is closely informed by data; and custom workshops, where we conduct a private workshop for your team or organization. All are small group, hands-on formats that allow you to dig deep and collaborate within your cohort.
Public workshops
Our public workshops are open to people working in any sector. We've found that many of the topics and issues in data equity transcend industries, and that discussions are enriched by viewpoints from folks in different sectors and different types of roles. Past participants have come from every industry: tech, finance, education, public sector, entertainment, consulting, nonprofit, freelance, startups, and more. If you want to learn how to promote equity and ethics in your data work, we're ready to meet you where you are.
Registrations are now open for our next series in January 2024.
Custom and corporate workshops
Our custom workshops are designed to meet the needs of your group or organization in one, three or four-session series.
Flexible group size: We can facilitate interactive, engaging workshops for groups of up to 16 people or our introductory one-session workshop for larger groups.
A tailored agenda: We'll focus on topics that are most relevant to your group, and we have three different length options to fit your budget and schedule.
For nonprofits and small organizations, we offer sliding scale pricing.
