Sharing Your Work
Session Description
This session builds upon the work on your last lab. In that lab, you worked on developing several workflows that will support your work over the course of the semester. Coming into this lab, you should have a formatted Quarto markdown document. In this session, we’ll talk about strategies for sharing that work, will configure your computer to communicate with GitHub, and will create your first publicly facing websites.

Reflect
How can planners and others engaging directly in public policy discourse and debate leverage emotion in their analysis in ways that generate meaning and connection without manipulating or leading towards particular conclusions?
What does the rhetorics of design look like today? How do we reclaim the rhetorical roots of data analysis amidst the proliferation of technocal approaches and (overly) abundant data?
Is there such thing a “neutral” data analysis?
Can you think of classification systems that may have unintended consequences or biases in data that you’ve used for urban analysis in the past?
