NAEA Research Commission - Data Visualization Working Group

DVWG

May 14, 2021

The Data Visualization Working Group examines the viability of data visualization and mapping strategies to communicate information in multiple ways to a range of constituents. Members of the group take up such issues as: visual possibilities/outcomes for the logic of quantitative methods and the exploratory capacity of qualitative inquiry; identifying the utility of data mapping as a descriptive method for demographic research and the potential of visualization as an interpretive means for identifying research questions and directions for inquiry; and exploring the feasibility of data visualization as an approach to professional development that puts the means of compiling information and communicating evidence in the hands of practitioners.

For additional information on the Data Visualization Working Group, contact Yichien Cooper, Chair, at yichiencooper@gmail.com.
