17	17	Social Data: Invading Privacy or Creating Better Cities?	Gala Camacho	2:00 PM	May 8 2019	Main Sanctuary	https://csvconf.com/speakers/#gala-camacho	2019-05-08T14:00:00	Urban designers have long heralded the value of the public realm in creating stronger communities. Yet, their processes and decisions are based around data that is far removed from the community, outdated and/or based on surveys and feedback forums which are generally attended by the same group of people and which can be overtaken by lobbyists. If we want to create cities that place people at the centre, it is essential that we find data about what makes neighbourhoods connected and wholesome, neighbourhoods which provide safe spaces for their community to engage. Social data (data from social media, crowdsourcing, mapping platforms, review apps, etc) can give us an opportunity to understand how people engage in their communities and interact with the places around them. It can be used to provide insights into the social health of local places and identify vulnerabilities, to feel the heartbeat of the neighbourhood. I will talk about what social data is, some of the challenges of getting it and collating it, the data's strengths and weaknesses, and how we are trying using it to make cities more socially connected.	https://csvconf.com/img/speakers-2019/gcamacho.jpg
18	18	Data Analysis to Improve Diversity and Equity in Graduate-Level Education	Rachel Mallinga	2:00 PM	May 8 2019	Fuller Hall	https://csvconf.com/speakers/#rachel-mallinga	2019-05-08T14:00:00	This project grew from the need to determine what students of diverse backgrounds need to feel welcomed and represented in their graduate department at the University of Oregon. Two women of color took the initiative to conduct qualitative and quantitative research on how equity and diversity are represented in curriculum, services, and departmental resources. Based on our findings we researched resources on campus that address the problems identified in our data and best practices for graduate education implemented by similar graduate-level programs in Oregon. This talk illustrates how research methods can be used to inform institutional policies and practices to improve diversity and equity.	https://csvconf.com/img/speakers-2019/rmallinga.jpg
19	19	Hacking Open Data in Africa	Soila Kenya	2:00 PM	May 8 2019	Daisy Bingham Room	https://csvconf.com/speakers/#soila-kenya	2019-05-08T14:00:00	This talk will cover the tips & tricks of community-sourcing for openAFRICA.net - the largest independent repository of open data on the African continent - used in order to digitise deadwood to give citizens actionable information. Data availability in many African countries is dismal. Files upon files of important government information lay gathering dust in abandoned storage rooms. On the other hand, journalists and citizens need this information to keep governments in check and ensure they are receiving the right services. So how do you turn paper-based government archives into machine readable & API accessible digital files?	https://csvconf.com/img/speakers-2019/skenya.jpg
