## Working with data {.smaller}

| Pros                                                       | Cons                                                   |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Speaking the **language** of funders, politicians, etc         | Does the community speak that language?              |
| Assumed based on **facts**                                     | Facts depend on context & can be skewed                |
| Can give **background** to lived experience & shared knowledge | Often treated as more important than lived experiences |
| Valuable **skills**... once you get them                          | High bar to learn                                      |
| "Now **what I've seen** makes sense!"                          | "Tell me something I don't know!"                      |

### Goal

Help you ask questions, answer questions & better understand _what you already know_


## What data can help answer

:::{.incremental}

* Where are the resources?
* What's the history of those resources?
* Who / what _isn't_ measured? Why?

:::

## Disparity

An imperfect working definition:

:::{.incremental}

* A problem or issue
* Some communities deal with it more often or more strongly
* For whatever reason

:::

## Demographics
