I explore how integrating open-source software tools into this curric ulum enables learners to participate in an interdisciplinary process of kn owledge construction: defining terms and propositions and applying statist ical concepts to social issues. This approach can strengthen both technica l proficiency and critical thinking. I then discuss the structure of a rel ated package\, critstats\, which informs a community model and framework f or developing informational data systems through which users can examine n iche histories\, issues\, and challenges.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/73/ URL:https://cornell.zoom.us/j/92415199317 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
