QSIDE Data4Justice Summer Accelerator – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

What is the Data4Justice Accelerator?

The QSIDE Accelerator is a 5-week-long program designed to help individuals learn how to design and execute social justice research and evaluation projects.

What will I learn?

As a participant in the Data4Justice Accelerator, you will learn how to:

• find and collect data using APIs, data scraping, and other data science techniques;
• clean and organize data using RStudio & R;
• use data science methodologies to uncover meaningful insights and relationships in your data;
• build data stories and effective visualizations to showcase results and inform policy and sway public opinion; and,
• turn qualitative into quantitative data using Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Each participant will complete a guided research project on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and develop a strong plan for future research on immigration policy, reform, and justice.
