Workshop: Data Science, Journalism & Climate Change

I am hosting a June workshop funded through the Data Science Institute at Lancaster University that brings journalists, data and environmental scientists, and media educators together to develop a consortium that reports on flooding in the UK. UK Underwater is a new initiative I hope will use visualization, data, storytelling, and social justice approaches to discuss the challenges and possible solutions to environmental problems plaguing coastal and inland waterways of the UK’s communities. This is also central to working group discussions supplementing my invited talks I gave on populism, digital journalism, and social media at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania, in February.
