Don't miss our final Woods lecture of the season as we welcome Claire Bowen to Shelton Auditorium on Tuesday, April 14 @ 7:30 as she discusses "From Raw Data to Well-Done Decisions: Baking Federal Data into Facts that Serve the Public Good."
Claire McKay Bowen (she/her) is a senior fellow and leads the Data Governance and Privacy Practice Area at the Urban Institute. Her research focuses on developing technical and policy solutions to safely expand access to confidential data for advancing evidence-based policymaking and ensuring everyone is responsibly represented in data. She also has an interest in improving science communication. In 2024, she became an American Statistical Association Fellow “for her significant contributions in the field of statistical data privacy, leadership activities in support of the profession, and commitment to mentoring the next generation of statisticians and data scientists.” Further, she is a member of the ICPSR Governing Council and several other data governance and data privacy committees as well as an adjunct professor at Stonehill College.
The event and parking are free to the public with no ticket required.
