| Equity in Data: How Does “Where” Matter: Equity in Data Community
of Practice Tuesday, October 18th | 11:30am -1:00pm Geography is the “science of where.” And while many of us consume maps when we explore the news, Covid cases and vaccines, and elections, we may not think to ask “how does ‘where’ matter” in our own data explorations. Yet when we are considering applying an equity lens to our data work, “where” does matter. Patterns may be
hidden in plain sight in our data that we don’t see unless we ask ourselves whether “where” matters. Join Alfredo Herrera (Geographic Information Officer for the State of Connecticut) and Dr. Yaprak Onat (Assistant Director of Research for the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation) to learn more about this important
topic. |
