SUMMARY:2021 CGA Virtual Forum: Geographic Data Science and Public Policy
DESCRIPTION:<p>	In the wake of much public data science and public data visualization (as related to covid-19, elections, police violence, evictions, etc.), how is geographic knowledge translated to various publics? What are the important GIScience principles that get muddied in the rush toward storytelling with data, including long-standing concerns around choropleth thematic maps, polygonal transformations, data normalization, scales, projections and more. In this forum, we invite geographers and data-based journalists in a variety of organizations to offer thoughts on the roles and means of translation. Invited speakers include people working in data journalism as well as those working in data-driven institutes.</p><p>	Topics include:</p><ul>	<li>		Data transformation / geographic apportioning / standards	</li>	<li>		Interpretation / visualization of space and places / storytelling with maps	</li>	<li>		Information enrichment / add value by location association / bring out insight	</li>	<li>		New data sources / social media with location / privacy / ethics	</li>	<li>		Policy implications / successful examples / cases of misuse	</li></ul><p>	<strong><a href="https://hu.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/HarvardCGA/Ec2PrUvA0NJEtFlHMjQtBfUBqNqDSPEOrOf2EVjeMfTfGA?e=v14Xor" target="_blank" title="Preliminary program">Final program</a></strong></p><p>	This event is open to the public.
