Do Better Research S3 E1: Data Activism

In this episode I speak to Dr Javiera Atenas (https://twitter.com/jatenas), Senior Lecturer in Learning and Teaching Enhancement at the University of Suffolk (https://www.uos.ac.uk/people/dr-javiera-atenas). Javiera currently works in developing critical data literacies amongst academics and supporting institutions in developing open education and science policies. We talk about data activism – what it is and the impact it has on research and researchers.   Javiera has some fantastic resources available on 'Understanding critical data literacy beyond data skills' here: https://zenodo.org/record/5155667#.YSZbR45KiUl And her latest research can be found: Atenas, Javiera.
