Hear Paulina talk about the AAI’s EDI principles on 16 February 2022

Save the date! Paulina of the Alexandria Archive Institute’s (AAI)’s Data Literacy Program (DLP) will be talking about Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) for the Department of Computing Science of the University of Alberta on 16 February 2022 at 1pm MST. This international opportunity is a great space to discuss the DLP and outline the underlying values and ethics of the program.

This talk will explore how and why EDI matters in the cultivation of archaeological data literacy. Data increasingly permeates everyone’s lives. Therefore, it’s important to address gaps in data literacy between data generators and those impacted by the outcomes of these data. While the DLP uses archaeological data as it’s focus, the program is working to create data literacy resources that teach generally applicable data skills.

Specifically, any group interested in cultivating data literacy, can transpose how the DLP incorporates EDI into their own decision making. Paulina’s talk will discuss how the DLP’s data stories, aka data driven narratives, utilize specific EDI principles and preview a few of these stories.

This talk is part of an EDI speaker series organized by the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta (UA), which has had some great speakers in the past. However, unlike other talks given by AAI team members, this talk is only open to the public as a live event. After the live presentation, only members of the UA community will have access to recording. So make sure to mark it in your calendar and save the zoom link. Hope to see y’all there!

In general, data literacy is important for everyone. This is because data increasingly permeates people’s lives. However, there is a significant literacy gap between people who create and process data and those who can be impacted by the outcomes of these data. To address these gaps, this talk will define data literacy, explore how a new program of the Alexandria Archive Institute (AAI) is developing resources to increase and evaluate the state of archaeological data literacy, address how EDI factors into our decision making, and explore how the program benefits from and can aid EDI initiatives in unique ways. Through our data driven narratives, called "data stories," the AAI’s Data Literacy Program aims to integrate EDI into our data literacy initiative. We hope to do this by creating stories that introduce data skills to multiple kinds of learners and teaching resources that fill gaps in data literacy skills resulting from inequities in pre-collegiate education.   Bio: Paulina is a Filipine-Polish-Canadian-American settler in North America, an anthropology graduate student at the University of New Mexico, and the Postdoctoral Researcher in Data Visualization and Reproducibility at the Alexandria Archive Institute. Paulina's dissertation examines the built environment of children’s institutions in the United States between 1865 and 1935. Extending her interest in studying archaeologies of education and teaching, as a postdoctoral researcher Paulina alongside her colleague. L. Meghan Dennis, are developing a series of data stories to assess and cultivate data literacy in archaeology. Additionally, Paulina enjoys exploring the intersections between popular culture and archaeology looking at how the public understands, learns from, and utilizes archaeological knowledge in fictional works." in black on the left all on a white background; the lower half in black text reads "February 16, 2022 @ 1:00pm On Zoom, Visit cs.ualberta.ca/edi for event & link" on a yellow background to the right of this writing in the lower half is a black and white QR code
