All are invited to the 2022 Critical Digital Literacies Speaker Series, presented by the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education faculty members Drs. Tinukwa Boulder, Veena Vasudevan, and Beatrice Dias. The virtual talks are open to all students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the broader Pitt community and the general public.
The series, funded by the Pitt Year of Data and Society, will feature internationally acclaimed speakers who will share insights on the pervasive reach of data in our educational lives. The goal is to create a new dialogue about the expansive nature of data, to further cultivate critical data literacies, and to start a conversation about how to harness data for advancing equity and justice, particularly within vulnerable communities.
