Post Graduate Diploma in Data Literacy for Justice - online

University of St Andrews

Social justice: to create a fair and just society where all individuals have equal access to opportunities, resources, and rights. Environmental justice: where no group of people should bear an unfair share of negative environmental impacts. Sustainability: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Develop your understanding of key issues in social and environmental justice and their sociopolitical contexts, and theories of social change. Build your confidence in responsibly collecting quality data, including key concepts for data analysis, spatial data science, data modelling using real datasets, and using open-source platforms. Construct engaging and accessible narratives with data, including data visualisation for lay and expert audiences. Practice effective public engagement strategies, including using journalism outlets and social media for impactful communication. Enjoy the flexibility to start at the beginning if you don't have a background in statistics, or take a more advanced class to enhance your existing skills. Boost your impact potential by diversifying your science communications and data visualisation toolboxes.
