D2P is integrated into credit-bearing courses where students explore issues like policing and affordable housing in the Denver region. Over the course of a semester%2C students find%2C cite%2C clean%2C analyze%2C and visualize data to identify gaps or problems in policing or affordable housing%2C create policy proposals that address what they found%2C then create a research poster to communicate their findings. We encourage a critical approach to data literacy that questions the objectivity and neutrality of data and situate it in a socio-political context. The project culminates in a D2P Symposium where students present their research to their peers%2C faculty%2C staff%2C and community members. By focusing on student-initiated concerns and using real data to try and address them%2C D2P forms a connection between the courses students take and the communities they live in%2C increasing its meaning and impact. We also partner with local community organizations%2C governments%2C and nonprofits to identify and frame the research questions students explore. Our goal is to intentionally include community voices so that the research we work on is relevant%2C context-specific%2C and in the interest of the community it will impact. This presentation will communicate the challenges and benefits of this kind of work%2C how it can be replicated in other contexts%2C and invite feedback on how to improve the project.", day = "May 9 2019" and speaker = "Melissa Mejia" sorted by datetime
