I’m interested in the abilities and constraints of “seeing” toxicity facilitated by public media, drawing on my training in communication, media studies, and STS. For this project, I will focus on air pollution and how it is visualized by public (online) media, such as newspapers, and their data visualization teams. The visualizations are interesting because they address a dispersed public. Further, the figures allow closer scrutiny of their production, e.g. which data they rely on and what kind of reading capacity they facilitate.
