SUMMARY:Creating interactive visualisations with gender identity data: Li
 ve code demonstration in Python and R

DESCRIPTION:The most recent census in 2021 asked two novel\, voluntary qu
 estions on sexuality and gender identity. By learning how to create inte
 ractive visualisations with gender identity data\, we can improve our co
 ding skills whilst exploring some interesting data along the way.\n\nThe
  way that we communicate our research and findings can have a big impact
  upon how people understand our data. Static graphs are useful\, but int
 eractive graphs allow for a more hands on approach by leveraging feature
 s such as interactive legends\, tooltips\, and dropdown widgets. We will
  get to grips with these terms in the workshop.\n\nInteractivity can add
  a lot of value to your research by:\n\nPromoting user engagement with d
 ata vs boring\, uninspiring graphs.\nAllowing for flexible\, easy data e
 xploration through built-in functions.\nPromoting in-depth data explorat
 ion as interactive tools allow us to be more granular and specific in ou
 r analysis.\nAllowing for multi-faceted analysis\, given that we can exp
 lore data from multiple perspectives within a single visualisation.\nThe
  aim of this free workshop is twofold. First\, we want to teach particip
 ants to create their own interactive visualisations\, by starting with a
  simple bar chart and working our way up to scatterplots with dropdowns 
 and finishing with an interactive map of the UK (if there’s time!). Seco
 ndly\, by starting with raw\, messy datasets\, we’d like to teach partic
 ipants how to clean and pre-process their data through code.\n\nFollow t
 his link to see the visualisations you’ll be making.\n\nPrerequisites:\n
 \nThis workshop is suitable for beginner to intermediate users of Python
  or R\, as we will be covering everything from how to load-in your data 
 to how to plot your visualisations. You will not need to install any sof
 tware or coding packages\, as we will be using interactive coding notebo
 oks where you can execute the code. Don’t be afraid of coming along even
  if you feel your coding knowledge is limited. I will be on hand to help
  with any issues or questions.\n\nTarget audience: Researchers/anyone in
 terested in interactive visualisations and/or gender identity data.\n\nP
