Census and ACS in the Classroom: A Virtual Workshop for Professors

This workshop focuses on how professors can integrate U.S. Census and American Community Survey (ACS) data in relevant, user-friendly ways. This data supports such courses as Intro Sociology, Social Problems, Stratification, Race Relations, the Family, Sociology of Aging, Population, and more. Participants will learn about the Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN), directed by Professor Frey at the University of Michigan. Related supplemental material on Census and population topics produced by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) will also be presented by Dr. Mather of PRB. Finally, Professor Andrew Beveridge will demonstrate and provide hands-on training for the popular Census and ACS interactive data and mapping tool, Social Explorer.
