BPViz, Broadening Participation in Visualization, Distinguished Lecture Series

Overview

CRA-W Distinguished Lecture Series is proud to support the upcoming BPViZ.

What is BPViZ?

The BPViZ workshop aims to be a catalyst for broadening participation of women, members of underrepresented groups and underrepresented disciplines in visualization, fostering a community of current and future scholars with interests in visualization through mentoring and encouraging participants to consider visualization as a career path. The workshop is designed to inform, inspire and encourage participants, specifically participants historically underrepresented at the conference, to engage in the multidisciplinary dynamics of visualization.

What will happen at BPViZ?

The goals of BPViz  Conference are three-fold: (1) broaden participation of women, members of underrepresented group and underrepresented disciplines in visualization, (2) foster a community of current and future scholars with interests in visualization through mentoring and (3) encourage participants to consider visualization as a career path.
