Fellows come from all over the university, bringing their particular passions and living out the public purpose of their discipline through teaching and researching in, with and for community.

Stephen Hilgartner is part of a team — with Engaged Faculty Fellows Malte Ziewitz and Sarah Sachs — that is developing, teaching and evaluating a new community-engaged undergraduate course called the Data Science & Society Lab. Funded by the Data Science Curriculum Initiative, the course brings together students from different majors to explore social and ethical problems in data science through a mix of interactive lectures and hands-on projects.
Examples of project challenges may be a systematic analysis of a recent ethical controversy for an NGO or local charity, a proposal for best practices for the problem of consent in large-scale data sets or a public resource for citizens who feel discriminated against by a data science application.
