Preparing Students for a Data-Driven World

We live in an age dominated by data. We harvest it. Mine it. Analyze it. Visualize it. Data identifies the next pandemic hotspot, exposes racism in real estate, and illustrates the rise in ocean temperature. It is a common input across technical and creative fields alike and recognizing how data is used and misused has become an increasingly critical skill.

Please join us on Thursday, March 18, 2021 @ 5PM for “Preparing Students for a Data-Driven World”

This event brings together a leading panel of interdisciplinary faculty discuss how data are used across technical and creative fields and how they use empirical reasoning and data-based assignments to prepare to live and work in a data-driven society. Our panelists are:

• Thomas Augst, Associate Professor of English, New York University
• Min Kyung Lee, Assistant Professor of Growth and Structure of Cities, Bryn Mawr College
• Brian Mailloux, Professor in Environmental Sciences, Barnard College and Columbia University 
• David Weiman, Professor of Economics, Barnard College and Columbia University

Zoom registration required for this event.

We look forward to seeing you!
