SUMMARY:Gettin’ daggity with it: Using DAGs as Tools for Variable Selection
DESCRIPTION:Gettin’ daggity with it: Using DAGs as Tools for Variable Selection\n\nEver pondered whether to include a variable in an analysis – is the variable necessary\, will its inclusion/exclusion introduce bias in the analysis?  Why is the variable important anyways – is it a mediator\, a moderator\, a confounder some combination of these??? \nThis course introduces how to incorporate DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) in analysis planning to help think through what variables to collect and use (or refrain from using) in an analysis. \nTopics include: \n\nIntroducing the structure of DAGs and the rules for using them to guide variable selection\nA deep dive into the types of variable relations captured in DAGs with emphasis on mediation\, moderation\, effect modification\, confounding and colliders and their potential to introduce bias in analysis\nHands on example of how to create and evaluate DAGs in R using the package daggity\n\nUse of DAGs may help inform data collection and analytical plans in ways that enhance reproducibility. \nCourse prerequisites: None. Knowledge of regression analysis and R is helpful but not required. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit is required to receive Zoom link. Deposit will be refunded upon attendance of course. \nTo learn more and register\, click HERE. \n\n\n\n      From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 10:00 AM\n      to 3:00 PM EDT\n      at Online.

SUMMARY:Climate Colonialism and a Global Just Transition
DESCRIPTION:Climate Colonialism and a Global Just Transition\n\nExplore the connections between colonialism and fossil fuels with historian Aviva Chomsky. This talk examines how European colonization fueled the Industrial Revolution and how extractive patterns have persisted ever since\, disproportionately impacting Indigenous and Afro-descended communities across the Global South\, while highlighting specific frameworks as new visions for a just transition. \n\n\n\n      From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 6:00 PM\n      to 7:00 PM EDT\n      at Room 1005\, Global Education Center.
