Two data activism programs were implemented, with a qualitative analysis tracking desire-based research integration into final student projects. In the second program, projects shifted to collaboration with community organizers, increasing the inclusion of desire-based research. Integrating community researchers into the technical curriculum empowers students to infuse data science projects with personal narratives, breaking away from the conventional singular narrative. Liberatory computing enables students to express a nuanced understanding of their experiences. These projects equip students with advanced data activism skills for active contributions to policymaking processes. 2024-06-06T15:49:37Z 2024-06-06T15:49:37Z 2024-05-16 2024-06-01T07:57:33Z Article http://purl.org/eprint/type/ConferencePaper 979-8-4007-0626-4 https://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/155203 Walker, Raechel, Dias, Olivia, Taylor, Matthew and Breazeal, Cynthia. 2024.
