Caring well for an aging population is among the greatest challenges facing both the United States and the world. Significant gaps persist between the health and social systems that older adults need, and those to which they have access. This course uses a multidisciplinary approach--encompassing history, public health, ethics, the social sciences, and literature--to explore these gaps, their impact, and their meaning.

Course provides students experience w/data science within a framework of data ethics in service of equity-oriented public policy. Primary goals are:collaborate w/community partner on project that advances social justice and policy understanding; practice working with real data and moral & ethical implications of work; and develop experience in data workflows that support ethical data science.

Ecological Economics augments standard economics by stressing the coevolution of natural systems with human institutions, including markets, and elevating sustainability and justice (not merely efficiency) as essential societal goals. In this course, students examine ecological-economic relationships, outcomes, challenges, and solutions, in the context of local and global agricultural, resource, environmental, and development issues.

The course is designed to not only teach students tools necessary to visualize data but also effective techniques for explaining data driven results with an emphasis on communicating statistical output in a manner that best represents the findings. Examples might include tailoring messages based on the audience or shaping visualizations to follow a story-line. Content on the development of interactive plots and dashboards will also be included.
