Making Charts and Other Visualizations in the Humanities: An Introduction to Tableau

This is an Archive of a Past Event

Whether it be for your research or for your teaching, the ability to communicate effectively about data is an important component of positions across all disciplines, including the humanities. In this workshop, participants will learn how to easily make charts, graphs, and interactive visualizations with the most commonly used data visualization software package: Tableau. Although those who have previously worked with Tableau will still benefit, this three-hour, hands-on workshop assumes no previous knowledge of Tableau or of data visualization.

This workshop is organized by the Ptarmigan Fund for Late Ancient Studies and co-sponsored by CESTA.
