Data Justice

Introduction

In this workshop, we define program evaluation, learn about data collection methods and sources, and reflect on the relationship between data and power. From these discussions, we define data justice-informed program evaluation and explore existing evaluation models which fit these criteria. We end with a hypothetical case study to examine these principles in action.

Learning Objectives

  • Introduction to Data and Data Ethics 
  • Introduction to Implementation of Data Justice Informed Evaluation Practices

Data Justice

Questions for Reflection

  • What kind of data do you think is important when evaluating programs? 
  • Are there any that you think should NEVER be collected? 
  • Have you ever participated in any sort of evaluation of the services you’ve received? Did you feel that your input was valued and made a significant impact in that process? If not, how should it have been different?
  • Has data collection ever caused harm to you in receiving services? How so?
