Equity in Data Community of Practice | Accessibility in Data Visualization

In July, we held a session discussing data visualization design principles centered around equity and accessibility. Sometimes, when creating visualizations, we get so caught up in the design that we may not fully consider those who may not have the same data background.

We explored how our design decisions for data visualizations could potentially exclude parts of our audiences, shaping who can gain insights from the data and who isn't. We also examined what accessibility means, best practices for inclusive design, and heard from several CTData staff members who have made adjustments to their own work. You can watch the recording from our session below:
