SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar: Polling with Amanda Cox
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Amanda Cox from the Upshot at the New York Times who will discuss polling and its importance in the political races. As the 2018 midterm election nears\, we pore over opinion polls looking for subtle (or not so subtle) clues about how things will fare on November 6. When looking at the race for the house and for the senate\, polls vary wildly. Which polls are right? Or reliable? To journalists\, of course\, the polls themselves aren’t the story\, they help tell us a story. The narrative power of polls extends far beyond a single number on a given day. Taken collectively and in combination with other data\, we can tell deep stories about the nature of our public’s opinions. \nFor registration and more information\, go to transparency.brown.columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Workshop: Polling with FiveThirtyEight
DESCRIPTION:The first workshop in the Transparency Series takes you through techniques for looking at one or more polls over time. Join Janie Velencia and Dhrumil Mehta who lead Pollapalooza at FiveThirtyEight to get exposed to sources\, tools\, and strategies for working with polls — starting at the very beginning with simple random samples\, and leading to the detailed models that are employed today. All the while\, we will emphasize how to find and tell interesting\, novel stories with polls. No prior experience in statistics or data analysis is needed. \nApply for the workshop at transparency.brown.columbia.edu.
