JEDI stands for justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. JEDI is a global movement, with networks connecting academic, business and grass roots organizations. A definition of ‘JEDI statistics’ and ‘impermissible inequality’ is proposed and illustrated with stories from government work, university teaching and academic research regarding race, ethics and social justice in statistics. I recently had the pleasure of discussing these ideas on a panel with Wendy Martinez, Safiya Umoja Noble, Donna LaLonde and participants in a plenary session of SDSS 2021, ‘Equitable and Inclusive Data and Technology’. I thank them for their comments, and Wendy Martinez, notably.¹¹ https://ww2.amstat.org/meetings/sdss/2021/onlineprogram/AbstractDetails.cfm?AbstractID=309823
There are in front of us unlimited possibilities for good by exploring the Venn diagram-overlaps of JEDI philosophy and statistics, JEDI and economic statistics, JEDI and department culture; JEDI medicine, JEDI coding, JEDI wealth and ownership, JEDI history and the historians of statistics, and so forth, striding towards our future for an antiracist and inclusive statistics and society.²² To explain a little more, in 1996, I earned a PhD Certificate in the Rhetoric of the Human Sciences at the same time I completed the PhD in Economics. I teach Rhetoric and Moral Philosophy, too, and since 2007, I have taught annually a course on ‘Theories of Justice in Economics and Philosophy’ to PhD, MA and BA students at Roosevelt University and in short courses at several universities in Europe.

成为一名绝地统计学家

JEDI 代表正义、公平、多样性和包容性。JEDI 是一项全球运动，其网络将学术、商业和基层组织联系起来。提出了“绝地统计”和“不允许的不平等”的定义，并用来自政府工作、大学教学和学术研究的关于统计中种族、伦理和社会正义的故事进行了说明。最近，我有幸与 Wendy Martinez、Safiya Umoja Noble、Donna LaLonde 以及 SDSS 2021 全体会议“公平和包容性数据和技术”的参与者讨论了这些想法。我感谢他们的评论，尤其是 Wendy Martinez。¹¹ https://ww2.amstat.org/meetings/sdss/2021/onlineprogram/AbstractDetails.cfm?AbstractID=309823
通过探索维恩图——JEDI哲学与统计学、JEDI与经济统计学、JEDI与部门文化的重叠，我们面前有无限可能；JEDI 医学、JEDI 编码、JEDI 财富和所有权、JEDI 历史和统计历史学家等等，朝着我们的未来迈进，建设一个反种族主义和包容性的统计和社会。²² 稍微解释一下，1996 年，我在完成经济学博士学位的同时获得了人文科学修辞学博士学位证书。我也教授修辞和道德哲学，自 2007 年以来，我每年都会在罗斯福大学为博士、硕士和文学士教授一门关于“经济学和哲学中的正义理论”的课程，并在欧洲几所大学开设短期课程。
