Today, we're reaching back "into the vault" to our Spatial Analytics and Data (SAD) interview series to bring you one of our past guests: Luc Anselin is the Stein-Freiler Distinguished Service Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, where he founded and directs the Center for Spatial Data Science. 

In this conversation, we'll talk about his life, times, and career, and also learn a little bit about who he would invite to a SAD dinner party! And: if you're curious about the SAD interviews, check out our Spatial Analytics and Data YouTube Channel (link) for the full back catalogue. We will be back with some new interviews and discussion very soon. 

Have questions, or want us to cover a topic you love? Let us know at [email protected] We'd be glad to hear from you! 

Note: we recorded this interview at the height of a global pandemic from home, while we usually record GLaD in the studio. So, we're sorry for any issues with the audio quality! We hope we've gotten better since this... and we hope you enjoy!
