Data Frictions and Inclusive Skills

As part of the launch of the 'Data Frictions: Inclusion and Data Skills in Arts, Humanities, and Culture' report, this presentation provides an overview of the 'Transforming the Gap: Inclusive Data Arts and Humanities Research Skills' project and reflections on the tensions between arts and humanities, 'data' and data skills training, and under-represented and marginalized groups. This presentation introduces data frictions as a heuristic for conceptualizing the push and pull, wear, tear, and slippages between the movement of data, learners, disciplines, and epistemologies. This accompanies the 'Data Frictions: Inclusion and Data Skills in Arts, Humanities, and Culture' report.
