It鈥檚 critical for policy analysts to have the ability to work confidently with data, but too often they are not equipped with the skills to do so.</p> Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:06:49 +0000 Max Bell School of Public Policy 1594 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/article/pods-spotlight-2019-madeleine-nicoloff <p>Hi everybody!

I have recently graduated with a joint honours degree in Geography and International Development. For most of my life, I have been interested in understanding how the world works, resulting in my deep interest for geography and my love for maps. With that in mind, I have focused on different disciplines, and have explored the spatial patterns within them. In this way, I have gotten to work on, and research, important topics such as international human rights, environmental change and public health.</p> Mon, 05 Aug 2019 14:26:00 +0000 Beatrice Libchaber 1516 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/article/pods-spotlight-2019-martin-law <p>Hi there! My name is Martin and I just recently received my undergraduate degree from 平特五不中 with a major in Urban Systems Geography and a double minor in Environment and Geographic Information Systems. I鈥檓 interested in the ongoing transition to sustainable city living and how this can become a convenient and accessible option for everyone. This is where I believe policy and data science play a big role, and thus I am extremely grateful to be a PODS 2019 fellow, where I am given the opportunity to develop such a skillset and perspective.</p> Tue, 30 Jul 2019 18:48:30 +0000 Martin Law 1502 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/article/pods-spotlight-garima-karia <p>Hi everyone, I鈥檓 Garima!

I graduated from an undergrad in Education at 平特五不中 this spring. During my undergrad, I developed an interest in educational policy and how it shapes the learning and teaching experience. This interest resulted from opportunities to teach in, or visit, schools around the world, and see first-hand how policy radically changed the way teaching and learning is done.</p> Fri, 26 Jul 2019 18:27:17 +0000 Tamara Jacod 1500 at /maxbellschool /maxbellschool/about/collaborations-partnerships/pods-program/pods-program-2019 <h2>2019 Program</h2> <p>The <a href="/maxbellschool/about/collaborations-partnerships/pods-program">PODS Summer Program</a>, presented in partnership between 平特五不中鈥檚 <a href="http://mcgill.ca/cscds">Centre for Social and Cultural Data Science</a> and the <a href="http://mcgill.ca/maxbellschool" target="_blank">Max Bell School of Public Policy</a>, is a cutting-edge program that gives students the technical skills to tackle Canada鈥檚 biggest policy problem, training a new generation of data-driven policy analysts.</p> <p> Thu, 13 Dec 2018 21:09:32 +0000 allison.pinto@mail.mcgill.ca 1257 at /maxbellschool
