In it, @herschelfthomas and I discuss "look-up" data systems versus those built for analysis and integration.
Democracies' concern for accountability and the triumph of "efficiency" in organizational research. Means that the vast majority of data systems are built for look-up and not for solving problems.
Modern, complex, and ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐ problems demand data systems built for analysis, and increasingly, for integration.
We conclude noting that changing data infrastructures requires altering conversations around democracies and what governments do and how we evaluate public organizations. #Governance#publicadmin#bureaucracy
The heaviest burden will fall on public, land-grant institutions, and especially on #socialscience, whose missions are to address public problems at the intersection of human, natural, and physical systems. #HigherEducation#landgrant@threadreaderapp unroll

If you follow me, you'll know that earlier this year I came home to #WestVirginia and @WestVirginiaU@WVUEberly to start the Institute for Policy Research and Public Affairs. Our Twitter account is above, and we'd appreciate a follow.
Our account will cover research, data, and issues important to the state of #WestVirginia and the broader region of #Appalachia, but will touch on issues important nationally in areas like ours.
An important thread in this documentary that is often lost in discussions of these transitions is that they owe in part to a failure on the #Left to message and frame (a failure I personally think describes the last 40 years of #DemocraticParty politics).
One can't even begin to discuss these transitions in #WestVirginia without understanding the historic role of labor in organizing the cluster of identities. As labor goes, so does the #Left's ability to organize identities in a meaningful way.
