Structure of the Workshop
The workshop falls into three parts of approximately one hour each.
Part 1: A panel of invited experts who have pressing concerns in which they see data literacy playing a role such as open data, citizen science, and democratic engagement. These are not necessarily academics. The aim of this first hour is to ground the subsequent speakers and discussion in real issues that might be addressed by data literacy in some form. See below for a list of possible panellists.
Part 2: Three or four papers by academics from different disciplines which illustrate relevant research in their field. These will be from a wide a range of disciplines such as statistics, sociology, psychology, education, information technology and politics. Academics will be invited to submit papers – the organising committee will select the papers to be presented (see below for details).
Part 3 is a plenary discussion examining how the previous speaker’s topics relate to each other and the potential for future research including agreeing future actions.
