Rice’s Program in Writing and Communication hosted the third iteration of the Visual Communication Symposium at the Moody Center for the Arts March 2-3. Over 150 attendees — a diverse group of scientists, researchers, graduate students and nonprofit representatives — flocked to campus to hear from a group of nationally recognized leaders in the field of visual communication, including keynote speaker Jonathan Schwabish.
Schwabish is co-author of the recently published “Do No Harm Guide: Applying Equity Awareness in Data Visualization,” founder of data visualization and presentation skills firm PolicyViz, senior fellow in the Income and Benefits Policy Center at the Urban Institute and a professor at Georgetown University and American University.
