In this online synchronous workshop, we are going to learn some basic commands in Pandas, an expansive Python library for working with tabular data like CSV files. You can think of Pandas as a more powerful version of Excel that operates within the Python environment, where you can wrangle, clean, analyze, and visualize data. Knowing how to use Pandas is important if you plan on working with datasets that include qualitative and/or quantitative data points. Throughout the lessons in this workshop, we will interact with the Pandas library using Jupyter Notebooks to analyze a dataset on refugee arrivals to the United States between 2005 and 2015. Some introductory Python knowledge is necessary, since we will not have time to go over the basics during the workshop. You can attend the Intro to Python workshop offered earlier in the semester or try it on your own (https://curriculum.dhinstitutes.org/workshops/python/).
