<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#2D3B45">English 208 examines the contexts and impacts of various data and the narratives created around them. Students will develop data literacies as they examine how data are communicated through narrative:
the stories data tell for good or ill; the stories we tell about data; the harm and histories of various data; and the content data narratives obscure. In addition to learning how to critique data presented as objectively neutral, students will complete projects
that critically examine methodologies and technologies of data collection, data representations, as well as the political, cultural, and social uses of data. Moreover, they will learn how to use data strategically and ethically in their own work. They will
discover how to identify and gather publicly available data; determine how it can be leveraged to serve their ethical and rhetorical purposes; and how to represent, narrate, and circulate it effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
