Project description:
"I am launching a multidisciplinary investigation into how languages travel, mutate, and shape collective identities across today’s interconnected world. My intention is to chart these movements visually and narratively, blending cultural theory with spatial analysis so that scholars, students, and curious lay readers alike can trace where words, idioms, and meanings migrate and how they reshape a community’s sense of self.

The core of the work revolves around three intertwined tasks:

• Collect and clean qualitative & quantitative data on language usage, diaspora patterns, and cultural signifiers.
• Translate those findings into a compelling cartographic experience—an interactive map or other data-rich visualization—capable of revealing hidden trajectories and intersections.
• Accompany the visuals with an interpretive narrative that explains why these patterns matter for identity formation and policy making in a globalized era.

I already have access to several linguistic corpora and census datasets but need a specialist who can weave them together, fill remaining gaps through open sources or API pulls, and design an intuitive front-end (D3.js, Leaflet, or similar) that runs smoothly on web and mobile.

Deliverables are considered complete when:
1. All datasets are documented and reproducible.
2. The map/visualization loads in under five seconds on a standard connection.
3. The written analysis (5,000–7,000 words) contextualizes each hotspot and trajectory showcased.
4. Source code and design assets are handed over with clear instructions for future updates.

If you have a solid grasp of GIS, data visualization, and sociolinguistics—and you thrive on translating complex research into engaging digital stories—this project should be a great fit." (client-provided description)
