Event Description

Critstats: Reimagining Statistics Education Through Critical Quantitative Approaches.

This lecture introduces "critstats" as a modern approach to teaching introductory statistics that leverages computational software programs to engage students in critical quantitative analysis. We will explore how integrating open source software tools into the curriculum enables students to clearly define any terms and goals, and apply statistical concepts to critical social issues, improving both technical proficiency and critical thinking. This talk will discuss the development of critstats and the use of diverse datasets and related resources to teach fundamental statistical methods while encouraging students to examine systemic inequalities and social challenges.
