Intersectional Data Collection

Facilitated by Georgie Williams (they/them)

Data Ethics of DEI is a webinar designed to explain and explore the complexities around collecting quantitative data within DEI. Within this webinar, we explore how to recognise the unquantifiable facets of marginality and privilege within our data, the importance of language in data collection, and how to action our data insights practically within workspaces and organisations. This webinar will move beyond ideas of additive and subtractable “units” of inequality and consider how an intersectional lens can be implemented in data collection, to the benefit of all parties.

This webinar will be facilitated by Georgie Williams (they/them). Georgie is a professional gender and sexuality consultant, a graduate of the MSc Gender programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a deferred doctoral student of the Social Justice PhD programme at University College Dublin. They specialise in Transgender, Genderqueer, Nonbinary and Intersex research and education and founded the /Queer project in 2018 – a global platform for gender and sexuality research and resources. They also work in quantitative statistics, data analytics and as a data coach. Georgie lectures and conducts research from their standpoint as a nonbinary transgender individual.
