This talk will be held over Zoom (details below)
Abstract
Over the past several years I have begun to conceptualize visualization as a means to support
data conversations. Conversation
with data is the iterative interaction between people
and data to ask and answer questions (classic analysis work). In addition, we can recognize and highlight collaboration and sharing practices involving data, or conversation
through and around data, as critical data practices.
In this talk, I’ll introduce my framing of data conversations, with examples from various research and development projects from Tableau. I’ll also introduce Viz@Roux, the Roux Institute’s new visualization research team, and share some ideas of where we are
headed.
