On the right is blue text on a white background listing: The Tutorial Series; The Creative Series; The Dialogues Series; The Aggregative Series (which is in a light blue rounded box); The Solo Series; The Interactive Series; The Publication Series with each series on its own row; to the left is a grey box with text primarily in black. The text reads “Reading data involves understanding what data is, and what aspects of the world it represents. Working with data involves acquiring, cleaning, and managing it. Analyzing data involves filtering, sorting, aggregating, comparing, and performing other such analytic operations on it. Arguing with data involves using data to support a larger narrative intended to communicate a message to a particular audience. Bhargava, Rahul, et al. “Data murals: Using the arts to build data literacy.” The Journal of Community Informatics 12.3 (2016). Throughout this document, data stories are aligned to show how they can be used to reinforce Reading, Working, Analyzing, and Arguing with data.” Reading is in dark blue matching a circular book spine icon to the left of the text that is in white lines on the blue background; Working is in light blue matching a tabbed planner-style circular icon in white lines on the same light blue; Analyzing is in lavender corresponding to a circular computer icon in white lines on the same lavender; and Arguing is in pink corresponding to a circular text books icon in white lines

Act 7: Sharing our Stories

October 13, 2022 by Paulina Przystupa

We had a busy summer here at the Data Literacy Program (DLP). Between sharing our Fall 2022 Table of Contents, publishing updates to the Alexandria Archives’ News, and prepping our It’s All in the Wrist (Bones) Data Story, we’ve done a lot during the third quarter of 2022. But … was that everything we did?

Demographics and data stories

July 8, 2022 by Paulina Przystupa

While we’ve mentioned our non-fiction book club, Of Mycenaean Men, we’re also preparing A Pun Goes Here: A Fiction Book Club. A Pun Goes Here will have a similar structure as Of Mycenaean Men, but will bring together a collection of 12 works of fiction to cultivate data literacy in archaeology.
