Please join us on Monday, April 15th, 2024 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm Eastern/11:00 – 12:00 pm Pacific for the DEFCon Speaker Series: “Faculty Workshops and Data Visualization in the Classroom” with Dr. Dellyssa Edinboro, Assistant Professor, Bellevue College
This presentation will discuss the role of data visualization in the classroom by looking at the design of and impact of a four-week faculty workshop on data visualization at Bellevue College (Washington). This four-week workshop utilized Du Bois’s Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America (2018), an edited volume by Whitney Battle-Baptiste and Britt Rusert, as a point of departure for participants to engage with digital humanities and data visualization and reflect on how their teaching practice can utilize data visualization to foster students’ engagement and cultural awareness. This presentation reinforces data visualization’s role in reimagining and enriching teaching and learning.
Dellyssa Edinboro (she/her/hers) is an Assistant Professor and Chair of the Cultural and Ethnic Studies Department at Bellevue College. She is also the Culturally Responsive Practices Lead for Bellevue College’s Faculty Commons. At the University of Iowa, she earned her master’s and doctorate degrees in Educational Policy and Leadership Studies (Schools, Culture, and Society) and graduate certificates in Public Digital Humanities and Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies.
