Taking a critical perspective on data, I explore the work of producing and using data to achieve social change at the local level. I have partnered with three CBOs with differing organizational structures and approaches to social change. A clearer understanding of the role of data in these settings provides insights into the nature of data and data work, highlights the opportunities and limitations of using data to pursue social change, informs CBOs using data to pursue their goals, and provides insights for designers to support data activism. I have already completed projects with two community-based organizations, examining their data practices and building tools to support their work. I am proposing ethnographic work, interviews, and design research centered around a third site that will provide a contrasting perspective on local data activism. Finally, I propose a cross-site analysis that synthesizes findings across all three CBOs to provide an overarching perspective on civic data in local community-based organizations.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELocal Data Activism: How Community Based Organizations Produce Data for Social Action\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Local Data Activism: How Community Based Organizations Produce Data for Social Action"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2025-04-10 17:46:15","changed_gmt":"2025-04-10 17:46:54","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-04-21T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2025-04-21T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-04-21T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-04-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-04-21 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-04-21 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TSRB 233 or Join via Teams ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
