Cameron Blevins, Associate Professor Clinical Teaching Track in History, and Professor John Tinnell of English, are part of an inter-campus team that received the CU Next Award for their project, Data Advocacy for All. The $300,000 grant, received in May, will soon provide students with the opportunity to learn how to ethically and effectively use data to raise public awareness and drive social change. The team will build educational modules designed to assist students define, assemble, evaluate, map, publish and persuade with data – and Tinnell will begin teaching the modules in fall of 2023. The content students produce in courses will include text, videos, audio recordings and graphics – all of which will be accessible to the public on the University Libraries’ site, CU Scholar. Students at CU Boulder and CU Denver will ultimately collaborate on a data-advocacy website about climate hazards in Colorado. While the project will impact all of the University of Colorado, Blevins and Tinnell’s work directly ties into this campus’s Digital Studies Certificate. You can read more about their efforts here.
