Register here The nuclear freeze movement of the early 1980s demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to influence national defense and security policy at the height of the Cold War. Today, the world is threatened by a new global arms race as the United States, Russia, China, and other nuclear weapons states are rebuilding and enhancing their arsenals, including new missile deployments. In the face of worsening nuclear dangers, grassroots movements are once again advocating for nuclear disarmament and justice. This webinar will discuss the efforts and impact of local government officials, religious leaders, and international networks to amplify concerns about national nuclear policies and their economic, environmental, health, and cultural consequences. It will also examine the prospects for launching a new global nuclear freeze movement.

An introduction to R, a commonly-used language for data and statistical analysis and visualization. This introductory workshop aims to provide a quick “swimming” lesson to students, scholars, practitioners, and researchers who want to dive into the world of R. R is a free and open-source programming language that is widely used for data and statistical analysis and data visualization. RStudio is a free user interface, which we will use to write and run an R script and interact with our data. In the course of this hour-long workshop, participants will learn to:Create an R script in the RStudio environment.Write basic R to perform mathematical operations and print out a greeting.Annotate code using comments so that we can share our work.Load in a dataset, subset data, and explore data types.This workshop is for those who are curious about tools for analyzing or visualizing their data, or if they've heard about R and want to know what it’s all about. In advance of the session, please install the R programming language and RStudio. No programming experience necessary — just bring yourself and a laptop!

Throughout Love Data Week, stop in front of the Data Viz Lab (249 Hesburgh Library) for Valentine snacks and add your data point to an ongoing LEGO participatory data visualization. Add your block to the scatterplot(s): How long does it take you to get from your home to the library? How often do you visit the library in a semester? This activity is based on Elsie Lee-Robbins’ work on participatory LEGO visualizations. Watch Lee-Robbins talk about LEGOs and data.
