SUMMARY:Geospatial Analysis & Visualization with Python
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we'll use a dataset that focuses on a very 
 painful subject and may be triggering for some to work with. We are going 
 to look at Police Killings in Canada from 2000-2017. The data was obtained 
 from Pivot Legal Society and initially collected by the CBC. We're going to 
 visualize the data\, investigate racial disparities\, and make an 
 infographic using a provided Jupyter Notebook. The end goal of this 
 workshop is to familiarize you with using Python for GIS\, and show that 
 programming and data analysis can be powerful tools for promoting social 
 and environmental justice issues.\n\nOutline\n\n\n	General Overview of how 
 GIS in Python Works\n	Import\, Parse\, and Plot Tabular Data\n	Join Tabular 
 and Spatial Data\n	Reproject Coordinate Systems\n	Data Normalization w/ 
 Census Data\n	Data Visualization: Create an Infographic\n\n\nThings to do 
 before the workshop\n\nWe will be using ubc.syzygy.ca throughout the 
 workshop. In order to follow along\, you will need to an active UBC CWL to 
 log in.
