Trainings & Events

During this mini virtual conference, Co-authors Alice Feng (Senior Data Scientist (Data Visualization) at Natera) and Jonathan Schwabish (Senior Fellow at Urban Institute) will share techniques that data visualization producers can consider when creating visuals to integrate race- and ethnicity-consciousness into our data visualization work. This presentation is based on the Do No Harm Guide: Applying Equity Awareness in Data Visualization and is sponsored by Connecticut's Equity in Data Community of Practice.

Sessions:

Monday, November 8, 10:30am-12:00pm: "Community Resiliency Estimates and the Pulse Program with the Census Bureau" During this session, the Census Bureau will present two data tools.

Tuesday, November 9, 9:00-10:00am: "Coffee with CTData" Grab your coffee and come chat with CTData staff about some of the data projects we’ve been working on to help data users in CT. Projects we may talk about include the Zoning Atlas, Town Profiles, the Women & Girls Platform, the Hartford Data Collaborative, or others!

Tuesday, November 9, 10:30am-12:00pm: "PUMAs: What are they and how might they change?" PUMAs (Public Use Microdata Areas) are geographies that include multiple towns and allow us to access Public Use Microdata for an entire region. These data can contain lower margin of error for certain kinds of disaggregation, and can allow us to access data that is not available at the town level. Come learn more about these areas and give your input into what Connecticut’s PUMAs should look like for the next decade.

Wednesday, November 10, 10:30am-12:00pm: "Do No Harm: Applying Equity Awareness in Data Visualization" Join special guests, co-authors Alice Feng and Jonathan Schwabish to learn how we can apply a race- and ethnicity-conscious lens to our data analysis and data visualization work.
