Accessible Data Analysis
We partner with blind collaborators and study participants to co-design novel interfaces for non-visual data exploration.
The Data & Design Group is an interdisciplinary research group that uses design to understand and reimagine socio-technical systems.
We envision a world where everyone has the power to shape the design of systems that affect their social and political lives.
We are known for our work on accessibility in interactive data analysis and consent and refusal in data ethics.
Our group is part of the Department of Information Science at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Research themes
Interactive Visualization Tools
We design abstractions and interfaces that help users rapidly conduct data exploration using a broad set of spatial and temporal visualization techniques.
Selected projects
Data Refusal and Design
We develop software and frameworks to support designers and activists in refusing large-scale data collection by powerful actors.
Selected projects
Embodiment and Visibility
We explore how the body works as a contested site of control, where people act on and are acted upon by data.
