CPDJ230

Through the internship practicum, students will be applying a data justice framework in a professional setting. Upon completion of 90 hours of supervised skill building via an approved internship, students will understand the connections between critical data theory and data justice in practice. In addition to their internship hours, their knowledge and skills will be assessed during weekly course meetings, through prompted journal entries, check-ins, and a poster at Scholars Academic Showcase. Their internship will be required to have an orientation towards building equity in the Information and Technology sector, building community awareness around data justice issues, or supporting an organization working on a community data justice issue.
