Searching for Inclusive Knowledge

These are several inherent biases in social media, search engines, generative AI algorithms, and even academic research. In this workshop, we explore four strategies that work around these biases and help us practice knowlege justice.

We practice critical self-reflection, work to identify whether we are in an information "echo chamber", and discuss using inclusive terminology to find those voices and perspectives missing from our feeds and reference lists. This workshop is part 2 of our series on knowledge justice.

Learning Outcomes:

Consider where out ideas come from and how they are shaped by biased or limited perspectives.
Identify strategies that help us practice knowledge justice, including self-reflection, identifying missing and diverse voices, using inclusive keywords, and strategic searching.
