Abstract

This article is a response to scholars calling for conceptualizing local values of data justice. Such values are grounded in the ways local communities utilize and understand data that has been created for their use. To elicit these values, I organized 11 data literacy workshops with community leaders in Atlanta's Historic Westside neighborhoods. Analyzing the qualitative data I gathered from these workshops using Grounded Theory (GT) allowed me to identify three values of data justice that were prioritized by community leaders. These include (i) Support the community's data infrastructure literacy, (ii) Empower the community through data, and (iii) Foster accountability through data. These local values and the methods I used to engage with the Westside can guide other researchers interested in creating civic data infrastructures with their communities.
