SMARTCensus: Visualising health data
The SMART Centre at Durham has just started an ESRC funded project:
INCENSE - Influencing Policy and Practice by Stimulating Public Debate
about Census Data which will produce visualisations of some of the
multivariate detailed characteristics tables for the 2011 UK census
which will be released over the next few months. This talk will
explore the potential of data visualisation to illuminate the stories
in the detailed characteristic census tables, and invite the audience
to identify which tables they would most like to see visualisations
for, especially in the area of health.
The talk will also offer illustrations of visualisations of health
data sets produced for the Reasoning with Evidence´ project, with a
discussion of the potential they offer to improve school pupils’
confidence in working with quantitative information. We will argue
that the intuitive nature of the interface offers hope that naïve
users in the general public might be able to grasp the main features
of complex datasets presented in these visualisations.
The meeting will be 1-2pm on Friday 17th May 2013 in Room 1.40,
School of Geography, with coffee served before at 12.30pm.

Many thanks,
