Telling stories with data - In-person

This workshop will introduce you to data visualization with a critical eye.  We will cover the main types of visualizations and discuss how best to visualize different datasets while aiming to avoid bias.  We will illustrate how data visualizations are not neutral and can be used to manipulate viewers. Finally, we will demonstrate how to use Tableau, a popular visualization tool, to create an interactive display of a simple dataset.

Facilitators: David Somiah Clark, Lead, Immersive Technology and Alex Guindon, GIS and Data Librarian / GPE Librarian, Concordia University Library
