Spatial thinking and geographic analyses are becoming increasingly important in the social sciences, and many ICPSR datasets could be explored in the context of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis. However, doing so requires some specialized skills and considerations, and educators using ICPSR resources may be interested in introducing their students to GIS analysis, without knowing where to start.

Join us for this webinar to learn more about a new teaching resource that educators can use to demonstrate how relevant ICPSR datasets could be visualized and analyzed spatially using the R programming language. The teaching resource will contain a lesson plan, sample code and examples, and practice exercises.

Presented by Aditya Ranganath, ICPSR Representative at the University of Colorado Boulder.
