Grounded in an interdisciplinary, critical, and creative approach to data studies, our program teaches students to analyze, interpret, and visualize data. Students learn to investigate the principles of graphic design, use statistics to analyze data, and connect their work to issues of data ethics.

A screenshot of the table of contents, reading: Preface Introduction: A History of Visualization and Power Chapter 1 Data: The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade and Responsible Visualization Design Before there are data, there are people. How can the lives behind the data guide our visualization work? Chapter 2 Image: William Playfair and the Politics of the “Simple View” Visualization has never been neutral or objective. How can we learn to recognize the human decisions that shape each design? Chapter 3 People: Shanawdithit and our Place in the Colonial Frame Maps, like all visualizations, tell stories. How can we learn to see the lines of power that they draw? Chapter 4 Knowledge: Elizabeth Palmer Peabody and the Idea of Epistemology Visualization can produce knowledge in many ways. What ideas do we gain when we expand our view of the past? Chapter 5 Change: Lula Iola Mack, W.E.B. Du Bois, and the Path to Liberatory Data Visualization Visualization can bear powerful witness to oppression. How can we use charts to make change in the world? Chapter 6 Labor: Data by Design and What We Learn from Visualization Work By Margy Adams and Tanvi Sharma, with Shiyao Li, Jay Varner, and Lauren Klein Any visualization project is the work of many hands. How can we surface the significance of this labor? Epilogue Acknowledgements Notes

A few days ago, amidst everything else, I pressed send on the book I've been working on (and off) for over a decade. It's still a long way from finished, but the final phase has begun. Watch for DATA BY DESIGN: FROM THE HISTORY OF VISUALIZATION TO THE FUTURE WE NEED in print and online in Fall 2026!

This interactive digital exhibit visualizes carousel locations throughout New York City and features practical information such as fee structures, neighborhood demographics, and more.
