The course will examine the past, present, and future of statistics’ impact on equity. We will discuss how early statistical thinking was used to defend racist narratives and how inequity persists in statistics to this day. We will explore current and future challenges using examples from artificial intelligence. Students will learn how to implement common artificial intelligence methods and communicate their results. This is a Gordis Teaching Fellowship course open to juniors and seniors. Priority registration will be given to Public Health Studies majors; other students will be permitted as space allows.
