Hi Tabitha and Richard, Could we please modify the title and description as follows? It's still the same speaker and fundamentally the same topic: Title: Counting the Toll: the Production and Consumption of Human Rights Data Description: Patrick Ball has spent more than twenty years designing databases and conducting quantitative analyses for truth commissions, non-governmental organizations, international criminal tribunals, national tribunals, and United Nations missions in over twenty countries. Using examples from his projects in El Salvador, Kosovo, Colombia, Timor-Leste, and Sierra Leone, Patrick will explore how human rights statistics can be misleading -- and how the limitations can be overcome. The talk will discuss how human rights data, statistics, and Firefox! have influenced prosecutions, UN policy, and advocacy campaigns in Guatemala and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks Jishnu
I've modified the title and the description of the brownbag. AV assistance and setup will be provided.
