Description:
This short course will consider how data can be visualized to reveal, or conceal, patterns in the social world. Students will be introduced to principles which are deemed to characterise successful visualization, and will learn how to implement such principles using the programming language R. This will cover the idea of the ‘grammar of graphics’, and the key types of visualization techniques utilising colour and shape to convey meaning. We will also consider how to make comparisons visually, how to ensure readers can understand our ‘message’, and how to evaluate, and potentially improve upon, visualisations in the public domain.
