Disappearing Data: Monitoring Federal SOGI Data Losses and Advancing Accountability
Description
Join ICPSR, the Movement Advancement Project, and the Williams Institute for a special Love Data Week panel examining the disappearance of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data from federal surveys and administrative systems—and what these losses mean for people, policy, and decision-making. Panelists will situate recent changes within broader federal data policy, review progress made prior to 2025, and discuss how new executive actions are reshaping the collection, governance, and use of SOGI data across government.
The discussion will highlight concrete examples of removed or altered data elements, outline efforts to monitor and document these changes, and explore accountability pathways including litigation and public comment. Participants will also learn how to engage with ongoing initiatives to help track and protect essential public data moving forward.
This webinar is part of the 2026 ICPSR Data Fair @ Love Data Week. For more information, please visit myumi.ch/ICPSRLoveDataWeek.
This event is free and open to the public. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording, along with the slides (when available), will be made available in the 2026 Love Data Week YouTube playlist at https://myumi.ch/y1jm8.
