Research Data Stories: working w/ Data in the Social Sciences, Humanities, & Life Sciences

Three faculty at Washington University in St. Louis from the Humanities, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences will describe how they engage with data. Panelists: Rachel Penczykowski: Rachel Penczykowski is an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department. She is a disease ecologist who is broadly interested in how environmental factors impact host-parasite interactions and how parasitism impacts ecosystems. She has worked in both aquatic and terrestrial systems and also uses mathematical modeling to explore general mechanisms by which environmental change and disease interact. Her lab currently uses common weedy plants and their fungal pathogens as their primary study system for empirical research. Major questions they are asking concern impacts of climate change and urbanization on ecology and evolution of plant diseases. Ariela Schachter: Ariela Schachter is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Associate Director of the Weidenbaum Center here. She is currently engaged in research addressing public attitudes towards immigrants; racial/ethnic relations; neighborhood selection and residential inequality. Professor Schachter primarily uses experiments and causal inference methods; more recently she has begun using big data and computational text analysis in her work. Geoff Ward: Geoff Ward is Professor of African and African American Studies and a faculty affiliate in Sociology and American Culture Studies. He is also director of WashU & Slavery Project, an initiative based in the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Equity (CRE2), and part of the global consortium of Universities Studying Slavery.
