Lauren's data collection confessions

Journey to Transformation

The non-profit sector has not been very good at ethical data collection, especially when it comes to being reflexive. How do we, as researchers, interviewers, and evaluators from the 'Global North', reflect on our power and the relational/colonial histories that influence the data we collect and the questions we ask? Lauren and Teia dive into types of data collection, pros and cons, and who is influencing us through our data collection choices, and there are some confessions along the way!
