Calling all data practitioners! <a href="https://www.latech4good.org/" title="https://www.latech4good.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LA Tech4Good</a> and <a href="http://policyviz.com/" title="http://policyviz.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PolicyViz</a> are teaming up to offer this free webinar on using and visualizing data responsibly, equitably, and ethically.We’ll cover key concepts and practical tools, addressing questions like:<ul><li>What assumptions or perspectives are built into the data? Who defined the categories and methodology, and why? What is and is not represented in the data, and why? How is equity defined in context?</li><li>How can analysts, researchers, and developers apply a race- and ethnicity-conscious lens to their data analysis and data visualization work? How can we take a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) perspective to our research, data, and visualizations?</li></ul>Taking a DEI perspective means considering how the specific lived experiences and perspectives of the people and communities we are studying, as well as our readers, will perceive information and carry that information forward. In this talk, we discuss a variety of techniques that data visualization producers should consider when creating visuals with this DEI approach, and bring new perspectives on data equity and tools to bring these practices to your work to help build a more equitable future. SpeakersDr. Jonathan Schwabish is an economist, writer, teacher, and creator of policy-relevant data visualizations.
