Data provides students with a granular view of the world around them. Understanding the world with data is critical to the social sciences, especially because many students tend to assume that opinions, not data, will determine their educational experience. It is by exploring and visualizing data in the social sciences that students and researchers can gain meaningful insights into the problems and challenges which human societies face today.
Dr. Quentin Kilpatrick, an instructor at Virginia Commonwealth University, will lead this webinar and discuss how he brings real-world data to life for his students in the social sciences. Using Social Explorer, Dr. Kilpatrick tells the story of American society. Learn how he integrates storytelling with data using Social Explorer in the courses that he teaches. Social Explorer is a premier data visualization and mapping tool, currently enhancing the research experience in over 400 academic libraries in the U.S. This is a timely webinar for all data and social science librarians, and for anyone interested in examining the social world today with data.
This is truth-telling time in the fight for health care. The voices of the uninsured and underinsured, of those who have insurance but live in fear of losing it, must be heard. The stakes could not be higher.
World stock markets shrugged off a spike in bond yields and gained strongly across the board this morning. Bond yields are rising because the world economy is back in growth mode, with all major sectors expanding (except for a couple of laggard emerging markets, namely Brazil and Russia. Another small but telling data point: the Netherlands reported the first double-digit increase in YOY industrial sales since 2007.

But Trump's G7 soliloquy is not a parody. And it captures a more serious truth of the Trump administration: the president, viewed from afar as a dangerous buffoon by his liberal critics, often elicits a similar response from other world leaders who deal with him up close.
It is not often that the global sovereign bond market and the global risk markets have held as divergent a view as to the world economic outlook as they have done in recent months. This could portend real trouble ahead for world financial markets and the global economy.
The global sovereign bond markets are telling a very much gloomier story as to where the world economy might be headed. One indication of this has been the recent marked inversion of the US yield curve. This inversion would imply that the US bond market expects that generalized US economic weakening will force the Federal Reserve to aggressively cut interest rates.
At a time when the world debt-to-GDP ratio is at a record level, a triggering of any of the economic risks identified above, not to mention a geopolitical event such as the closing of the Straits of Hormuz, could have major repercussions for the global financial system. As Warren Buffett never tires of reminding us, it will be then when the tide runs out that we will find out who has been swimming naked.
In a world drowning in debt and characterized by so many systemic economic risks, one has to hope that global policymakers are not suffering from a false sense of security on the grounds that the US banking system is in a very much better position to weather a global economic shock than it was in 2008. While this might be true of the United States, the same might not be said of the European banking system in general and of that of Italy in particular. It also must be a matter of deep concern that a disturbingly large proportion of global credit risk resides in the lightly regulated non-banking sector in general and in the hedge funds and equity funds in particular.
In 2008, Queen Elizabeth famously asked why no one had forewarned her about the Great Economic Recession. Should the world experience a global economic and financial crisis next year, global policymakers will not be able to ask the same question. The global bond market is now warning all who might be bothered to listen that there is a very good chance that it will not be too long before the world economy again experiences an unusually severe recession. 041b061a72
