Guest Lectures, Workshops, & Tutorials

The Data Lab and Research Technology staff have extensive experience providing in-class guest lectures, specialty workshops and tutorials, asynchronous learning materials, curriculum planning, assignment creation, and more for Tufts faculty, schools, and departments. Our staff is trained and skilled in classroom instruction and pedagogy, and several hold lecturer positions throughout the various Tufts schools. We are available to help faculty and researchers teach various skills, expertise, and software related to GIS, digital humanities, and data science applications.

If you would like to know more or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss our participation in your classroom or research team, please reach out to DataLab-Support@elist.tufts.edu.


Map & Visualization Design for Publications

A popular service offered by the Data Lab is support with map design or data visualizations for various publications or platforms. Oftentimes, Tufts’ faculty would like specialized maps or data visualizations for publications such as journal articles, research projects, grant reports, presentations, etc. but do not have the expertise to create the product themselves. Our team is available to help Tufts researchers create these map designs or visualizations. Our services are usually in kind for Tufts faculty but ultimately depend on the project’s scope.

Contact DataLab-Support@elist.tufts.edu to inquire more about map design and visualization opportunities for your research!
