July 2027 Newsletter

We have now just concluded our Spring term events for 2026, and we will be taking a pause until Fall 2026. This is a longer newsletter than normal, since we will be recapping last academic year’s events, and starting to promote the ones we will have forthcoming! We still have a couple of openings for speakers for coming 2026-2027 academic year, so please let us know (email christina.pao@sc.edu) if you have any interest in sharing your work.

This looks awesome! A data viz course from the authors of Data Feminism, @laurenfklein.bsky.social and @kanarinka.bsky.social. So excited to teach with these materials! openvisualizationacademy.org/courses/data...

A screenshot of one of the course pages from the Data Feminism for Data Visualization course. The text reads: "Course: Data Feminism for Data Visualization Authors: Lauren Klein Catherine D'Ignazio To get a certificate of completion, sign in to track your progress Content updated in October 2025 This course draws from the award-winning book Data Feminism (MIT Press, 2020), challenging students to consider how examining questions of gender, power, and justice can transform the way we visualize data. Drawing from the rich history of feminist activism and critical thought, we will learn to recognize and counter biases in conventional visualization practices while developing skills to create more ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible visualizations of our own. The course brings real-world examples of data visualization in conversation with theoretical frameworks that question whose perspectives are included (or not) in data science and data communication, illustrating the need for approaches that employ visualization to amplify minoritized perspectives and draw attention to issues of equity and justice.
