Welcome to 127, your data mirror on the campus. We investigate empirical social and institutional patterns at Denison that will be of interest to the community, that will help us challenge or affirm conventional wisdom, and will help us reflect on our practices and attitudes. Almost nothing is off the table, provided there are data to chase the question. Remember: in good faith we can seek truth through data.
For an overview of the project, check out Matt McHugh’s journalistic account and check out some of the favorite posts of famed 127 writers. We’ve had 37 people write 236 posts for us so far.
Follow 127 to learn about new posts or like us on Facebook, tweet at us, or follow us on the Instas.
