SUMMARY:Book Launch of Habeas Data by tech reporter Cyrus Farivar in conversation with Alex Abdo\, Knight First Amendment Institute
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning tech reporter Cyrus Farivar for a book launch of Habeas Data: Privacy vs. the Rise of Surveillance Tech. Farivar will be joined by Alex Abdo\, Litigation Director for the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University\, who will respond to the book and moderate conversation on the topic of data and privacy. \nYou are being watched. Whether through your phone or your car or your credit card\, caught on a CCTV camera or tracked through your online viewing history\, government agencies know where you are\, and are quietly collecting your most intimate\, mundane\, and personal information. Is this even legal? Habeas Data shows how the explosive growth of surveillance technology has outpaced our understanding of the ethics\, mores\, and laws of privacy. \nFarivar makes the case by taking ten historic court decisions that defined our privacy rights and matching them against the capabilities of modern technology. It’s an approach that combines the charge of a legal thriller with the shock of the daily headlines. \nA dazzling exposé that journeys from Oakland\, California to the halls of the Supreme Court to the back of a squad car\, Habeas Data combines deft reportage\, deep research\, and original interviews to offer an X-ray diagnostic of our current surveillance state. \n\nAbout Cyrus Farivar \nCyrus Farivar is an investigative tech reporter at NBC News in San Francisco. In addition to being a radio producer and author\, Cyrus was most recently a senior tech policy reporter at Ars Technica. He was also previously the sci-tech editor and host of “Spectrum” at Deutsche Welle English\, Germany’s international broadcaster\, from 2010-2012. \nCyrus is the author of multiple books\, including Habeas Data (2018) and The Internet of Elsewhere (2011). Praised by The New Yorker\, among others\, Habeas Data takes a look at legal cases that have had an outsized impact on surveillance law in America. His first book focuses on the history and effects of the Internet on different countries around the world. \nHe received his B.A. in Political Economy from the University of California\, Berkeley and his M.S. from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. \nAbout Alex Abdo \nAlex Abdo is the litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute. Prior to joining the Institute\, he was a senior staff attorney at the ACLU. He has been at the forefront of litigation relating to NSA surveillance\, encryption\, anonymous speech online\, government transparency\, and the post-9/11 abuse of detainees in U.S. custody. In 2015\, he argued the closely watched appeal that resulted in the Second Circuit invalidating the NSA’s call-records program. \nAbdo graduated from Yale College and Harvard Law School. After law school\, Alex clerked for the Hon. Barbara M.G. Lynn\, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Texas\, and for the Hon. Rosemary Barkett\, United States Circuit Judge for the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar: Drone Photography by Josh Haner and Meaghan Looram\, New York Times
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday evening for our last Transparency Series seminar featuring Josh Haner\, staff photographer and the senior editor for photo technology\, in conversation with Meaghan Looram\, the Director of Photography at The New York Times. They will discuss previous drone project they’ve worked on together\, and the role of drones in Journalism. As with Virtual Reality\, drone journalism offers opportunities in data collection and visual representation afforded by few other technologies that are within the grasp of a typical newsroom. Drones\, or unmanned aerial systems\, provide a perspective that is truly unique. It seems to be good for providing a sense of scale (moving from the ground to a significant vantage point above some event or phenomenon). Drones can provide access to regions that are otherwise impossible to film. The artful\, informative deployment of drone photography and its role in journalism is the subject of this Transparency Series event. \nJosh Haner is a Staff Photographer and the Senior Editor for Photo Technology at The New York Times. In 2014\, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for a photo essay documenting the recovery of a Boston Marathon bombing victim. \nMeaghan Looram is the Director of Photography at The New York Times. A graduate of Stanford University\, Ms. Looram has been an editor at The Times since 2005. She oversees The New York Times’ photographic coverage\, the news organization’s staff of 40 photo editors and 15 staff photographers\, as well as many of its most ambitious visual projects\, including “A Year at War”\, “One in 8 Million”\, “Carbon’s Casualties” and the annual Year in Pictures. \nFor registration and more information\, go to transparency.brown.columbia.edu \n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lectures in Computational Innovation: Dr. Gina Helfrich
DESCRIPTION:Join or Die: The Future of Computational Innovation and the End of the Academy as We Know It \nAcademia presently faces an existential crisis. Tenure-track positions are shrinking. Adjunct positions are on the rise. Scientific and technical fields are losing talent to lucrative industry jobs\, while humanities programs graduate a glut of doctorates whose career prospects in the field are slim. In this lecture\, Dr. Helfrich will argue that the rise of networked technologies and their spread into virtually every area of life and business pose a challenge to the existing structure of advanced degree programs in the United States. The future depends on the ability of academics to meet these challenges by breaking down research silos and coming together to leverage our collective strengths.About  \nAbout Gina Helfrich \nDr. Gina Helfrich is Director of Communications and Culture at NumFOCUS\, a non-profit that supports better science through open code. \nDr. Helfrich holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Emory University with a specialization in ethics and critical social theory. She is also the former Director of the Harvard College Women’s Center. After teaching and leading culture change programs at Harvard\, Dr. Helfrich moved to Austin\, Texas\, where she began working in the technology industry managing strategic programs and communications. She was co-founder of recruitHER\, a women-owned recruiting & consulting firm committed to making the tech industry more inclusive and diverse. At present\, she consults on diversity and inclusion for rapidly growing organizations\, in addition to her work for NumFOCUS. Dr. Helfrich is a vocal advocate for inclusion and diversity in tech and business and a frequent speaker on this subject; she has been a selected speaker at South By Southwest Interactive (SXSW) and the Texas Conference for Women. Despite having left academia\, Dr. Helfrich continues to engage with questions of ethics and technology as a practitioner in the tech industry. \nAbout the Distinguished Lectures in Computational Innovation\n \nAt 4:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month in the Brown Institute for Media Innovation (2nd Floor\, Pulitzer Hall)\, the Distinguished Lectures in Computational Innovation series will highlight programmers\, data scientists\, and other practitioners from the private sector who lead cutting-edge technology initiatives such as Python\, C++\, and the Open Source Initiative. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Art of Data Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Data conference is an annual gathering of researchers\, practitioners\, artists\, and journalists\, to discuss issues related to data\, cities\, and visualization. It is organized by the Columbia University Libraries in collaboration with the Brown Institute for Media Innovation at the Journalism School. The conference will take place on April 4th from 3pm to 6pm\, followed by a small reception. \nThis year’s theme is Processing New York\, which emphasizes how we produce\, collect\, clean\, analyze\, and process the data that we use. For this iteration we are putting together three panels: one\, The Story of NYC\, which will deal with humanities related data; two\, Uncovered New York\, which will talk about data that is rarely collected (think rodents); and three NYC Data in Action\, in which we will examine the positive and negative effects of technology and data in the way we manage and live our cities. Each panel will have two speakers\, each one talking about their work for 20 minutes followed by a 20 minute Q&A. A rough schedule is outlined below. \n3:00 – 4:00pm NYC Data in Action \nChris Whong\, is a public-sector entrepreneur and civic technologist. As Founder and Director of the progressive digital services team NYC Planning Labs\, he promotes the use of agile methods\, human-centered design\, and open technology to build impactful tools at the NYC Department of City Planning. Chris is a leader in the NYC civic technology community\, and a former Code for America brigade leader. \nBen Wellington\, is the creator of I Quant NY\, a data science and policy blog that focuses on insights drawn from New York City’s public data\, and advocates for the expansion and improvement of that data. His data analysis has influenced local government policy including changes in NYC street infrastructure\, the way New Yorkers pay for cabs and the design of NYC subway vending machines\, and his talk on urban data was featured on TED. Ben holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science (Natural Language Processing) from New York University. \nPanel moderated by Kae Bara Kratcha\, Entrepreneurship & Social Science Librarian at Columbia University Libraries. \n4:00 – 5:00pm The Story of NYC \nRachel Egan\, is a Brooklyn-based artist and information scientist. Her creative practice includes coding\, drawing\, and needlework\, while her research is focused on applying semantic technologies and open access mechanisms to cultural object cataloging. She currently leads The Art Genome Project\, the classification system and technological framework that powers Artsy\, the leading platform for collecting and discovering art. Egan is a former Linked Open Data Fellow at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, a researcher for the Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings Catalogue Raisonné\, and has provided archival and data services for Artnet\, Gallerie degli Uffizi\, Gagsoian Gallery\, and Greene Naftali Gallery. She received her Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College and Master of Library and Information Science from Pratt Institute. \nGrace Afsari-Mamagani\, is a doctoral student in English at NYU\, working on a dissertation that reads post-9/11 American fiction representing the lived experiences of marginalized communities as the site of a theory and ethics of interaction design for educational resources. In her teaching and research\, she centers the relationship between everyday information structures and long\, violent histories of colonialism and nation-building. She currently serves as a doctoral fellow in digital research and pedagogy with the NewYorkScapes research collaborative\, which seeks to build community at the intersection of cultural heritage\, spatial and urban studies\, and digital methods. Grace is a member of the 2018-2020 HASTAC Scholars cohort\, a former Polonsky-Brine digital humanities fellow at NYU\, a former MLA Connected Academics fellow\, and a recovering marketing agency project manager.

SUMMARY:Mapping Module 5 – Recreating a Map from the News
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. With the popularization of cartography\, anyone with a computer and an internet connection can make a map\, yet in news organizations\, the practices of cartography and GIS have remained largely in domain of engineering and graphics teams\, not with reporters. \nThis module will teach journalists how to make use of spatial data. Using tools common to all graphics desks\, students will learn how to find and tell stories using maps. The module is five weeks and will cover everything from spatial analysis to map design. It will take place 10am-1pm every Friday\, from February 13 – March 13. \nRegister for the workshop at brwn.co/map19. Please direct any questions to Michael Krisch (mkrisch@columbia.edu) or Juan Saldarriaga (juan.saldarriaga@columbia.edu).

SUMMARY:Measuring Crime: Behind the Statistics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 1915\, the Chicago City Council asked statistician Edith Abbott to report “upon the frequency of murder\, assault\, burglary\, robbery\, theft and like crimes in Chicago.” Her report\, drawing on published and unpublished statistics from the courts\, probation office\, house of correction\, and police department\, set the stage for subsequent collections and evaluations of crime statistics. Her conclusions—that statistics’ quality depend on the systems of data collection and that multiple sources of data are needed to study crime—hold today. \nDrawing on Abbott’s insights\, I set out eight questions to ask about a statistic before you rely on it. I then go through these questions for three sources of statistics about sexual assault: the Uniform Crime Reports\, the National Crime Victimization Survey\, and the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. \nBio: Sharon Lohr is a vice president and senior statistician at Westat in Rockville\, Maryland. Previously\, she was dean’s distinguished professor of statistics at Arizona State University. Her research has focused on survey sampling\, hierarchical models\, small-area estimation\, missing data\, and design of experiments. She is a fellow of the American Statistical Association and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute. She was the inaugural recipient of the Washington Statistical Society’s Gertrude M. Cox Statistics Award for contributions to the practice of statistics and a recipient of the society’s Morris Hansen Lecture Award. She was recently selected to present the Deming Lecture at the Joint Statistical Meetings. She has a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discussion with Andrew Zolli & Trevor Hammond\, Planet
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, 3/6 at 12pm for a lunchtime discussion with Andrew Zolli from Planet\, a satellite image provider. Remote sensing dates back to the 1858\, when cameras were carried by balloons to take aerial images of the earth. Building on these early capture techniques\, satellites and advancements in image capture have enabled a new era of remote sensing. For decades\, working with satellite imagery was cumbersome and slow. But new tools\, such as those developed by Planet\, make monitoring easier than ever before. \nPlanet’s mission is to image the entire Earth every day and make global change visible\, accessible\, and actionable. Whether it is tracking deforestation at home or abroad\, measuring impacts of natural disasters\, or tracking the progress of urbanization\, daily monitoring of satellite imagery has incredible potential to change how journalists make sense of our world. Join us to learn about Planet’s platform — which is free to journalists — and learn about potential opportunities for partnership.

SUMMARY:Queer & "Here"
DESCRIPTION:Queer & “Here”\nFrom hookup apps to investigative reporting\, community-building to historical archiving\, the Internet has transformed queer experience and visibility. What have these changes wrought? What gains? What losses? \nIn a free-wheeling and frank conversation\, Zach Stafford\, editor-in-chief of the U.S.’s oldest LGBTQ news magazine\, The Advocate\, and Jack Halberstam\, queer scholar and professor of English and Gender Studies at Columbia University\, will consider the roles the digital realm has played in queer communities\, how it has made space for queer narratives traditionally devalued in mainstream media\, and ways it has reshaped the very meanings of genders and sexualities – even as it has delivered sexual minorities to marketers and exposed vulnerable queer people to aggression. \nThe conversation introduces Queer Disruptions 3\, an international conference celebrating GLQ‘s 25th anniversary and looking back on the seminal conference Black Nations/Queer Nations from 1995. \nRegister at Eventbrite \n  \n\n  \nSpeakers: \nJack Halberstam\, a professor of gender studies and English at Columbia University. is the author of six books including: Skin Shows: Gothic Horror and the Technology of Monsters(Duke UP\, 1995)\, Female Masculinity (Duke UP\, 1998)\, In A Queer Time and Place (NYU Press\, 2005)\, The Queer Art of Failure (Duke UP\, 2011)\, Gaga Feminism: Sex\, Gender\, and the End of Normal (Beacon Press\, 2012)\, and\, most recently\, a short book titled Trans: A Quick and Quirky Account of Gender Variance (University of California Press). Among other projects\, Halberstam is currently working on a book titled Wild Thing: Queer Theory after Nature\, on queer anarchy\, performance\, and protest culture the intersections among animality\, the human\, and the environment. \nZach Stafford is the newly named editor-in-chief of The Advcoate\, the oldest continuously published LGBTQ periodical in the US\, a position he assumes after serving as editor-in-chief of INTO\, the LGBTQ digital magazine that quickly became one of the most-read queer outlets in the world. Previously he served as the editor-at-large of OUT Magazine and was an award-winning journalist at The Guardian\, where he covered justice\, violence\, and social issues in both his column and long-form features. Stafford regularly provides commentary on radio and podcasts and has appeared on the BBC\, CNN and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. He the coeditor of the bestselling book Boys\, An Anthology and the executive producer/host of the recent documentary BOYSTOWN. \nModerator: \nMark Hansen\, professor at Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism and director of its Brown Institute for Media Innovation\, has been working for nearly three decades at the intersection of data\, art and technology. He serves as the faculty sponsor of the Journalism School’s chapter of the NGLJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists. \nOrganized and Introduced by Alisa Solomon\, professor\, Columbia School of Journalism. \nSponsored by: \nThe Brown Institute for Media Innovation \nCUJ Chapter of NGLJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists \nIRWGS: Institute for Research on Women\, Gender & Sexuality

SUMMARY:Mapping Module 2 - Census Data and Geocoding
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. With the popularization of cartography\, anyone with a computer and an internet connection can make a map\, yet in news organizations\, the practices of cartography and GIS have remained largely in domain of engineering and graphics teams\, not with reporters. \nThis module will teach journalists how to make use of spatial data. Using tools common to all graphics desks\, students will learn how to find and tell stories using maps. The module is five weeks and will cover everything from spatial analysis to map design. It will take place 10am-1pm every Friday\, from February 13 – March 13. \nRegister for the workshop at brwn.co/map19. Please direct any questions to Michael Krisch (mkrisch@columbia.edu) or Juan Saldarriaga (juan.saldarriaga@columbia.edu).

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Workshop: Data Visualization with Agnes Change\, ProPublica
DESCRIPTION:Data visualization has become a multipurpose tool in journalistic practice. It allows us to see patterns in data and to discover new stories\, as well as to insightfully communicate our findings. In this day-long workshop\, Agnes Chang from ProPublica will guide us through basic data visualization tools and skills\, delving into the design process and some of the graphic strategies that make the best data visualization pieces so successful. During the day we will touch upon the multiple aspects of data visualization: from exploring and cleaning up a dataset\, to crafting the narrative of the piece\, to designing its graphic aspects\, to coding its interactive elements. \nAgnes Chang is an editorial experience designer at ProPublica. Previously\, she spent six years at the New York Times where she launched the company’s proprietary 360 video player and also led user strategy and daily operations for NYT Cooking\, one of the Times’ most popular products. More recently\, Agnes has served as an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design and Columbia University. She is a graduate of Wellesley College and has an M.S. in Media Arts & Science from the MIT Media Lab.

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar: Data Visualization with Jeremy White\, NYTimes
DESCRIPTION:Maps\, charts\, and graphs have become an almost essential part of the journalistic practice\, as well as the centerpiece of many published pieces. But how can we best incorporate these tools into our investigative process\, and how do we design them to be as engaging and insightful as possible? Join us for a conversation with Jeremy White\, graphics editor at The New York Times\, who will share with us some of the lessons learned and the details behind the crafting of pieces such as the now famous Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek\, and Reshaping New York\, and the more contemporary Antarctic Dispatches\, See Inside Typhoon Mangkhut and the Times Olympics coverage. \nJeremy White is a graphics editor for The New York Times and an adjunct professor at Columbia University. He has contributed to a variety of visual projects that have earned several Emmy nominations\, a Peabody award\, and top honors from the Society of News Design\, World Press Photo and Pictures of the Year International. Prior to joining the Times\, he created motion\, interactive and print graphics for the company he founded in 1998\, blueshirt\, serving clients such as Toyota\, Fiat\, Sony\, and Microsoft.
