The Critical University Studies (CUS) working group convenes and cultivates a critical scholarly community that contends with issues of power, race, and gender in higher education. Our goals are to: 1) deepen our theoretical inquiry related to critical studies of higher education through existing scholarship and in particular, develop theoretical and empirical links with scholarship from critical studies of race, gender, and class. We draw inspiration from the black radical tradition and black feminism in particular, indigenous studies, and decolonial theory.

This workshop introduces students to scikit-learn, the popular machine learning library in Python, as well as the auto-ML library built on top of scikit-learn, TPOT. The focus will be on scikit-learn syntax and available tools to apply machine learning algorithms to datasets.

Prior knowledge: We will assume a basic knowledge of Python and a basic understanding of machine learning techniques. No theory instruction will be provided.
