The University of Arizona data hub

The lab has been working on a conceptual framework to have structural implications in the academy and society. The data hub will focus on four key aspects.

1

The data hub will develop accessible resources for educators, incorporating real-world relating to environmental science, sustainability, urban planning, health, ecology, climate science, and environmental justice to underscore the societal implications of data science.

2

The data hub will review resources centered on ethics in machine learning and AI and in applications to these and other fields, addressing critical concerns in this domain about the development and use of data science tools.

3

The data hub will critically evaluate materials used in data science education, contextualizing them in terms of historical and social sensitivities.

4

The data hub will provide robust mentorship and support to students and academics, particularly from marginalized backgrounds, enabling them to excel in data science and participate in impactful projects from unique perspectives.

The data hub is closely associated with the center for diverse leadership in science at the University of California, Los Angeles, led by Dr. Aradhna Tripati.
