Conversations about Science and Society: The US Census, Data Reliability, and Reproducible Research

Panelists:Brian De Vos, US Census Bureau, Decennial Census Management DivisionTimothy Kennel, US Census Bureau, Decennial Statistical Studies DivisionDavid Van Riper, Minnesota Population Center, Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation Moderator: Alan C Love, Minnesota Center for Philosophy of ScienceThe US Census is one of the largest data collection and analysis efforts in the world. The results that derive from these efforts have an impact on our everyday lives, most notably in the allocation of federal funding and political representation. The US Census involves not only a variety of advance preparation but also many different kinds of after-the-fact studies. How do researchers ensure that the data emerging from these efforts is reliable? How do researchers learn from past efforts and improve them for the next census? Additionally, once this data is released, how is it curated for use in the research of diverse scientists? How does this support reliable, reproducible answers to diverse questions about human behavior and society? Join us for a conversation with researchers from the US Census Bureau and the Minnesota Population Center to explore some of these questions at the intersection of science and society. Recorded at Minneapolis Central Library, October 12, 2022 Part of the Many Faces of Reproducibility, an Interdisciplinary Collaborative Workshop project at the University of Minnesota.
