Projects
In a tough job market, how do computing students find careers that align with their values — and what can we learn from recent graduates who’ve navigated that tension themselves?
Can ceramics act as medium for data communication and exploration through the creation of a multi-sensorial storytelling installation?
How do context, culture, and lived experience shape the way people read charts? We apply an ecological framework to visualization literacy to move beyond individual decoding skills.
