Anyone who uses data to make decisions must possess certain critical thinking skills that go beyond mere technical craft. But, what are these skills exactly? Join CUNY professor Eldar Sarajlic in a lecture about Critical Data Literacy, a philosophical approach to reasoning with data. You will learn about the conceptual background of thinking with data and have the opportunity to test your data-reasoning skills.
This talk is for anyone who plans to access open data and make any kind of arguments or claims based on the data. The hope is that you will walk away with a stronger toolkit to think about what a dataset means and does not and be better equipped to avoid fallacies of inference.
