episode 7: Making a Difference Through Peace Work
David Corliss is the founder and Director of Peace-Work, an all-volunteer cooperative of statisticians and data scientists applying statistical methods to issue-driven advocacy in poverty, education, social justice, and providing analytic support for charitable groups. In his interview, David describes how Peace-work was born and then delves into the data protocol he developed for those in the human trafficking space, and discusses the impact that data analysis had on public policy during the Covid-19 pandemic.
