Episode 1: Filling the Gaps, Disrupting the Norms: An Introduction to DS4SJ

Welcome to the first episode of the third season of the Information Ecosystem podcast, entitled “Filling the Gaps, Disrupting the Norms: An Introduction to DS4SJ.” This series of the podcast will feature seven episodes that detail the Data Science for Social Justice year-long project at the University of Pittsburgh. It aims to inform people of the relationship between communities, academic institutions and the technological resources available to them. 

This episode was hosted and produced by Grace DeLallo, a senior undergraduate student pursuing a Writing major and Political Science minor at the University of Pittsburgh.  

Thank you to Sera Linardi, Ron Idoko, and Nora Mattern for contributing to this episode by speaking with us about social justice, data science, DS4SJ, and what they all mean. Information Ecosystems is created in affiliation with the University of Pittsburgh.
