Long abstractThis chapter offers an illustrative and generative example of a local social and pedagogical problem in a Global South context –students’ engagement with open data for coming up with a climate change solution– to reflect on the importance of understanding the nuance and complex nature of data literacy to transform different aspects of their social reality. This, in turn, opens up a discussion about how and why understanding the complexity of critical data literacy is the foundation of HE for Good.

Caroline Kuhn came from Venezuela to Europe to pursue a PhD. Now a senior lecturer based at the School of Education in Bath Spa University (UK), her research focuses on the intersection of sociology, philosophy, technology, and education. She has a particular interest in open education and social justice framed under a critical pedagogy approach. She is also interested in issues of data justice and how technology can be meaningfully integrated into resource-constrained contexts so that different ways of knowing and being are respected, and agency is fostered.
