DVG – Data Visualization Group

Data Visualization Group (i.e., DVG) is a place for students, faculty, and staff who are interested in sharing topics, theories, methods, and techniques related to data visualization. Data visualization is a graphical representation of data. Done well, visual elements such as charts, graphs, and maps are just a few data visualization tools that can provide viewers an accessible way of understanding the represented information. In a world increasingly governed by Big Data, data visualization can assist decision-makers in their analyses.
In this working group, members are encouraged to discuss and share theories, methods, and projects that include but are not limited to data preprocessing, data explanation, data exploration, theories of data visualization, real-world examples, and ongoing work. We will explore the fundamentals of data visualization including design principles, best practices, dashboards, visualization tools, ethics, and more.
This is a new working group, and topics will be based on participation and interest. Virtual meetings are free, open to all GC Community members of all skill levels, disciplines, and backgrounds.

    Tools for the Digital Humanities Workshop
    September 17th, 2021 (Fri) 1:00-2:00pm

    Join us to see the possibilities for doing Digital Humanities work and learn about DH tools, methods, and projects!

    With the remarkable array of digital tools available, it can be difficult to determine which ones you’ll really need, particularly when you\’re in the research stage. Perhaps you only vaguely understand what \”digital humanities\” is. This workshop will give an overview of digital humanities methods and introduce a variety of tools for different kinds of research. We’ll discuss the genres and vocabulary of DH from text analysis to geospatial mapping and review the many available resources online and at The Graduate Center. Feel free to come with your project ideas and questions.

    This event will be held online. The video link will be distributed to those who register. Please use your CUNY Graduate Center email address when registering. REGISTER HERE.

    We\’re looking forward to seeing you at one of these events!
