Welcome to the first Connect2Learn session of the 2021-22 Training Year! The Connect2Learn series is designed to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange and learning among all CAnD3 members, partners, and Fellows.
In our first session, we will examine ethical dilemmas raised by the use of data in formulating, implementing, and evaluating decisions and policies. It particularly focuses on balancing the risks and benefits of using data for policy and addressing the unintended consequences of data-driven policymaking.
