Birds, Birders, Birding: Connecting People and Places

Join Deja Perkins, PhD student in geospatial analytics at NC State University, as she discusses the importance of people in birding and science. Birds connect people and places, but birders play an important role in bird conservation by observing birds wherever they are, when they go birding. Deja studies data gaps gathered from participatory methods like eBird. In this talk, she will share her work looking at inclusion in citizen science and bird watching; ranging from the maps and data she examines in her research, to the community engagement work including her work introducing the people of Raleigh and Durham to bird watching, and her virtual engagement and education with #BlackBirdersWeek. What can be learned from thinking about where we go and who goes birding?
