We were excited to see a slew of presentations on applied mapping and data analysis in poverty advocacy at the 2008 NLADA Annual Conference. The REP participated in two mapping/data sessions: Using Mapping, Data, and Databases for Advocacy and Program Improvement: An Introduction; Using Mapping, Data, and Databases (II): Developing and Implementing Mapping and Data Capacities.

The presenters for the first session were Eric Schultheis (aka ElectroMoose) from the Race Equity Project, Ann Joyner from the Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities, and Julie Aguilar Rogado from the Health Rights Hotline. The presenters for the second session were Eric Schultheis, Ann Joyner, and Jason Reece from the Kirwan Institute on the Study of Race and Ethnicity.

Eric Schultheis’s presentation slides are available below in JPEG format as self-extracting ZIP files:
