Because we assume that human perspectives are varied and unreliable, algorithms and quantitative data collection often seem dedicated to “removing” subjective experiences from the equation. Why is that? How does a story change when you invite people’s lived experiences (collected through ethnography, oral history, and journalistic interviews) into the examination of a community?
Discussion led by Zackary Biro.
This event is free, but registration is required.
