This feature brings together three current and former instructors teaching as part of the Data in Social Context (DiSC) program at Virginia Tech. The DiSC program teaches students to use humanities skills, such as close reading, contextual interpretation, ethical reasoning, and empathy to understand data as a representation of human experience and understanding. The current and former instructors for the “Introduction to Data in Social Context” course discuss pedagogical strategies, interdisciplinary education, and the opportunities and challenges in exploring what it means to be human when so many elements of daily lives are measured by numbers, managed by algorithms, and classified as data.
