Description
Dr. Laura Perovich (Northeastern University) examines how notions of data and community converge in systems of data representation to engage important social issues. In her talk, she examines 1) a participatory action research project on environmental pollutant data in Chelsea, MA, led by youth in the community; and 2) a qualitative study of COVID-19 memes in a Facebook-based student community. At issue in both is how data becomes a space to contest and rearticulate definitions of community.
