Episode 131 – Race-Based Bias and Data
On this episode, we look at how bias in data gathering can impact representation of communities. Our correspondent, Emily Rendell-Watson, speaks with three incredible community members with experience in data research, urban planning and activism.
ECF has been exploring the history of racism in this year’s Vital Signs topic. Vital Signs is a check-up to see how the community is fairing on various issues. This work is done in collaboration with Edmonton Social Planning Council and with guidance from a dedicated committee made of people with lived experience.
Through this work, the Committee working on this project learned that there are still many people and communities who are not included in a meaningful way through typical data gathering processes. These gaps can leave people feeling unheard and unseen.
