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. Check out this wonderful project here: www.carouselsofnyc.com and find out more about the story of carousels in NYC.

Last semester, Kelly Karst, Julissa Russo, Carla Ordonez, and Leonard Santos worked with Professor Bret Maney from our class Digital Humanities: Methods and Practices to develop this wonderful project, and successfully presented it at the CUNY Graduate Center Digital Showcase.

Carousels of NYC🎠

What’s your first memory of carousels?
Carousels evoke joy and nostalgia, drawing people across diverse backgrounds, yet their placement is often restricted to wealthier neighborhoods, limiting accessibility for many communities.

Do you have a seminar paper, dissertation chapter, or conference presentation that you’d like to turn into an article? If this is your first time revising something you already have into an article manuscript you can submit, or if you want to learn more about a process you’ve already attempted, join us for an informational webinar on revising for an article-length publication. We’ll review the key elements of an article, identify the criteria reviewers look for in a strong article, and help you understand how to strategically prioritize when revising your way toward an article manuscript that has the best chances of receiving a “revise and resubmit” from reviewers.

Academic writers often revise existing work to produce articles, a task that means asking challenging questions about structure and content. Join us next week for a workshop @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social that will help get you started! Use the QR code below or go to our website: buff.ly/AU3u8Re
