Resources for JEDI-Informed Teaching of Statistics
Pedagogy, research, and professional development
As a way to engage all of the students who pass through our classes, the CURV database profiles statisticians and data scientists with backgrounds that aren't typically seen in our textbooks and histories. With dozens of accounts, you can use the database for a statistician-of-the day activity.
This spreadsheet contains data collected on challenged book (not banned books) in the US across 3 years. The purpose of the data is to compute conditional probabilities from data in a contingency table.
Links to data sources are included in the spreadsheet for further exploration.
This example addresses perceptions of equity and covers multiple introductory statistical concepts.
Researchers and organizations can increase privacy in datasets through methods such as aggregating, suppressing, or substituting random values. But these means of protecting individuals' information do not always equally affect the groups of people represented in the data. A published dataset might ensure the privacy of people who make up the majority of the dataset but fail to ensure the privacy of those in smaller groups. Or, after undergoing alterations, the data may be more useful for learning about some groups more than others. How entities protect data can have varying effects on marginalized and underrepresented groups of people.
To understand the current state of ideas, we completed a literature review of equity-focused work in statistical data privacy (SDP) and conducted interviews with nine experts on privacy preserving methods and data sharing. These experts include researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry sectors with diverse technical backgrounds. We offer an illustrative example to highlight potential disparities that can result from applying SDP methods. We develop an equitable statistical data privacy workflow that privacy practitioners and decisionmakers can utilize to explicitly make equity part of the standard data privacy process.
In the spirit of Gutiérrez (2009), access represents all of the opportunities available for student learning. These slides are a collection of resources for thinking about all of the dimensions of access. There is a particular emphasis on metacognition and unveiling the hidden curriculum.
Dr. Rochelle Gutierrez (2002) stated "equity is ultimately about the distribution of power - power in the classroom, power in future schooling, power in one's everyday life, and power in a global society." This presentation unpacks ways in which statistics classrooms can put power in students' hands.
