Organiser of Data Stories Symposium 2020
The Data Stories project explores how people engage with data.
In the post-truth society we live in experts must find novel ways to bring data to citizens. Data must entertain as well as inform, and excite as well as educate.
We research solutions to help make data more relevant, more interactive, and more easily shared, drawing on methods from a range of different disciplines.
This event is organised by: Laura Koesten, Elena Simperl, Jonathan Gray, Nick Holliman (King's College London, Newcastle University)
