Do No Harm with Data Visualization

Register here

In today's increasingly diverse world, data communicators must ensure that the way they analyze and present their data upholds the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and avoids perpetuating stereotypes, biases, or other types of harm. Taking a DEI perspective means considering how the specific lived experiences and perspectives of the people and communities we are studying, as well as our readers, will perceive the way we communicate data and information. This webinar will offer a set of starting points on how to apply an equity lens to the way we visualize data.

This webinar is part of the Equitable Data Visualization webinar series, sponsored by the California State Library and Pacific Library Partnership. For information about the other webinars in the series, please visit this link: https://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/ccl/webinars/
