Slides 17-18: Location example looks like an all-white ranch/4H program (https://asotincountyfairandrodeo.org/4-h/) Possibly use this location instead? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coyote_Point_Trail_at_Whitewater_State_Park,_Minnesota_(44136078811).jpg (photo has a CC 2.0 license)

Slide 34: Given the racialization of what counts as “crime” in the United States (and even more overt racism in police presence), I’d replace crime locations with something else, e.g., motor vehicle accident locations or point environmental pollutant emissions locations from the Toxics Release Inventory (e.g., https://www.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventory-tri-program/tri-basic-data-files-calendar-years-1987-2019)
