INTR3002: Power and Politics of Data

As scholars and researchers conduct investigations in today’s changing, data-centric research climate, funding agencies and policies are moving research into a more open environment focused on research data management, sharing, and preservation. In this interdisciplinary course we will explore how access to open data accelerates our understanding of our world to our benefit. We will also examine the context and resources that increase accessibility, interoperability and discoverability and ease data sharing.
