"Advancing Racial Equity for Science and Society via Statistical & ML Approaches"
In this presentation, Dr. Monroe-White will discuss how data science (DS) is not immune from structural racism. Algorithmic bias and data harms continue to disproportionately affect minoritized groups. A key concern for policymakers, educators, and employers is how DS techniques can impact science, technology, and innovation (STI) systems for greater public benefit. Drawing on her work as PI on two federally funded research initiatives, Dr. Thema Monroe-White demonstrates (via statistical and machine learning techniques) how the STI enterprise is shaped by the racialized and gendered identities of its workforce. Her pioneering work on emancipatory data science and racial equity in STEM education highlights the scientific, technological, and social importance of a race-conscious and equity-centered DS education.
This presentation is part of an on-campus interview for the tenure-track Petrone Professorship in Educational Data Science (Associate or Full Professor) position in the Department of Education Studies.
