Very generous review of 'The Art of Insight' by Deniz Cem Önduygu https://www.denizcemonduygu.com/2023/12/the-art-of-insight/

“It comes as no surprise that in The Art of Insight he presents an even more pragmatist and descriptivist/pluralist perspective.”

So cool! My "Dispersion vs Disparity" research with Cindy Xiong Bearfield made it into @albertocairo's new "Art of Insight" book. We snuck into @Allitorban's inspiring chapter on "Making Data Friendly." I'm so proud to see equity-focused dataviz make it into print.

This is icing on the cake though, because collaborating with Alli was such a wonderful experience. She's one of the most visually articulate people in the field and absolutely brought the research to life.

And @albertocairo captured one of our main themes quite well: "Think about Holder and Xiong's research and of Alli's illustrations next time you hear anyone suggest that 'data speaks for itself' or that visualization designers should worry only about the correctness of their decisions and not the consequences of those decisions..."

For context, you can learn more about the research AND see Alli's illustrations in action here: https://3iap.com/unfair-comparisons

Today, a quote from my conversation with Deniz Cem Önduygu:

“...The myriad ways in which we make visualizations, the ways that we think about the craft, the ways that we share it and teach it to others—all of them intertwine with who we were born to be, how our environment and experiences hew us, and how we decide to conduct ourselves at every step of our journeys.”
