ICYMI: The Black Beyond Data Reading Group hosts free, virtual, monthly meetings focused on exploring ideas around community-based data analytics (CBDA), a collaborative approach to data that involves community members in the collection, management, and analysis of data in their communities
The aim of the Black Beyond Data Reading Group is to gather people (researchers, faculty, community activists) who have an interest in Black community-based data analytics to critically research and study social issues to initiate transformative change in Black communities.
Thank you to all who attended the first Who Owns Black Data convening on March 28th and 29th, either in-person or virtually! Fully edited and captioned recordings of all of the March 29th events at Johns Hopkins University and NoMüNoMü are now available on YouTube, courtesy of the Black Beyond Data Ecosystem.
That being said, another month means another reading group! This month, we'll be joined by Dr. Kadija Ferryman on Friday, April 26th, at 12 PM (EDT) via Zoom!
Dr. Kadija Ferryman is an anthropologist who studies race, ethics, and policy in health technology. Specifically, her research examines how clinical racial correction/norming, algorithmic risk scoring, and disease prediction in genomics, digital medical records, and artificial intelligence technologies affect racial health inequities. She is currently Core Faculty at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. She completed postdoctoral training at the Data & Society Research Institute in New York, where she led the Fairness in Precision Medicine research study, which examined the potential for bias and discrimination in predictive precision medicine.
She earned a BA in Anthropology from Yale University, and a PhD in Anthropology from The New School for Social Research. She began her research career over 20 years ago as a policy researcher at the Urban Institute, where she studied how housing and neighborhoods impact well-being, specifically the effects of public housing redevelopment on children, families, and older adults.
