Hi Enrico — you are building a Substack that is a masterclass archive for critical thinking and use of data visualization. Bravo! I look forward to reading your new posts and diving deep into your archive. I will leave comments with thoughts drawing connections to ideas specific to research on public opinion data about science + technology across geographic space and time; and other interesting data sets I am working on specific to looking at conflicts over wind power and clean energy infrastructure across space and time. There is also some interesting intesections we could talk about examining trends in crime, policing, and race. I should also connect you with my former OSU colleague Andrew Hayes. I think both of your minds work in similar ways and there could be some really good resonance there. Reading your post reminded me of his style of writing as he combined his primary research with eventually writing the best graduate level texts on quantitative methods in communication and social psychology respectively. I think an innovative open-access grad level and practitioner text is something you could develop out of your Substack. Keep it up and I am excited to read, learn more and discuss. Here is is info on Hayes: https://www.afhayes.com/index.html
Thanks so much Matthew for all your comments! I like the fact that you mention critical thinking because often I describe what I am doing here as "critical data thinking." I'd be thrilled to learn more about your work and how it connects to mine. I am sure there many overlaps. My idea is indeed to use these posts as a way to create something more permanent. Last semester I taught a course that is very much in the same spirit and I am looking forward to teach it again in the fall (spring is my teaching semester in CS). I'd be happy to connect with Andrew also! Please keep commenting whenever you can!!!
