PS 1781 - EXPLORING SOCIAL PHENOMENON USING INTERACTIVE DATA VISUALIZATION

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
A key goal of computational social science is presenting important data on social and political phenomena in an accessible and interactive fashion. This capstone gives students the skills and hands-on experience to do so. It focuses on creating interactive websites or dashboards that are responsive to the input of the user and can, among other things, contain dynamic tables and plots, 3D charts, interactive maps, and animations. In addition to creating these interactive data visualizations, students will reflect on the choices they make in designing their applications and the implications of their analyses for social and political questions.
