Within statistics education, there is a push for inclusive teaching with a focus on data equity. Across fields, the benefits of inclusive teaching is well established. Additionally, the importance of data equity had gained traction since 2020. However, in the statistics classroom, there is a delay in social-centric curriculums. Many universities address data equity is a separate course, including the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, but do not integrate it into foundational statistics courses. My current research, at its initial stages, aims to systematically demonstrate that teaching with data equity lens leads to increased critical thinking and analysis skills.
