Ryan Womack

Ryan Womack is Data Librarian for Rutgers-New Brunswick, and in this role is responsible for outreach and training for data, assisting students and faculty, development of research guides, and providing support for quantitative research across a range of disciplines. He led the development of the Graduate Specialist Program, hiring Rutgers-NB graduate students to teach workshops and provide consultations in advanced research methods, including Python, R, and other data science topics.

Womack is particularly interested in developing and supporting data literacy and statistical literacy, including work on guides to data resources on underrepresented and marginalized populations.

A current focus of his research is the development of useful guides to data and statistical resources related to Mongolia and the countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan). His work on the Central Asia and Mongolia Gender Data Portal (CAMGDP) exemplifies this.
