Using Data for Good: How Data Visualization Can Make Us Happy

Faculty research at Northeastern focuses on uncovering solutions to global challenges and propels cross-disciplinary collaborations. Join Teaching Professor of Information with the College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) at Northeastern University, Brockett Horne, and Qingyue Li, award-winning designer and mapping specialist at ESRI, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, to learn how happiness can be expressed in quantitative ways, through mapping, charts, graphs, and other data visualization.

Brockett Horne is a designer, educator, and writer. Her creative work encourages audiences to question their own ways of consuming design. Clients include the Baltimore Museum of Art, Johns Hopkins University, Decentering Whiteness working group, and Harvard University. She has won multiple design awards and presents her work internationally. Her research interests include: information design, typography and power, packaging in the early 20th century, and monograms. She holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design, and an MA from the Bard Graduate Center.

Note: This will be a hybrid event. If you're unable to join us on campus, please register for a virtual ticket, and a link to the Zoom webinar will be sent out 24 hours before the event.
