On October 9, Yale political scientist Joshua Kalla visited Middlebury to give a talk on “Polarization and persuasion in American Politics,” co-sponsored by midd.data, the Conflict Transformation Collaborative, and the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs. Professor Kalla discussed evidence from field experiments demonstrating that under certain conditions, perspective taking and storytelling may shift exclusionary attitudes and policy preferences.
Another great summer Intro to Data course!
This summer midd.data offered our credit-bearing “Introduction to Data” summer course for a second time, following our successful launch last year. This course is designed to provide students from backgrounds that have historically been underrepresented in data science with new opportunities to learn about and participate in the field.
