Assistant professor of journalism Rahul Bhargava’s book, “Community Data: Creative Approaches to Empowering People With Information,” aims to align data science “with good social outcomes, learning from the practices of newspapers, museums, community groups, artists, and libraries,” according to the book’s Amazon page. Bhargava’s book also “introduces a community-driven framework as a response to the urgent need to realign data theories and methods around justice and empowerment,” while expanding storytellers’ toolkits beyond “the limited vocabulary of surveys, spreadsheets, charts and graphs.”
