Data & Donuts
Data & Donuts is a semi-monthly learning and discussion group that offers a welcoming space to engage critically with issues of data and society. Since Fall 2018, we have invited an array of researchers, practitioners, and students to present and facilitate discussion (listed below). Check out our event calendar for a schedule of upcoming meetings. For further details, contact Alessandra Seiter, Knowledge Services Librarian.
