Interesting teaching position in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh:
University Teacher/Lecturer (Teaching) in Design Informatics
https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/8990The opening is part of a general expansion across #design, #computing, #hci, #datascience, #visualization, and #ai.
This is where the fine folks of VisHub https://vishub.net are based and the amazing #infoplus2023 conference just happened.
Applications due 5 Jan 2024.

Last week @jona Pomerance presented the interactive and narrated #BetterCatastrophe flowchart at #infoplus2023 in Edinburgh. For this occasion we also released Interactive Flowchart as a free reusable template with detailed explanations of its structure, a visual step-by-step tutorial, and 12 student examples covering a range of well-known personal dilemmas.

1 exhibition, 2 hours of Scottish dances, and 40 talks in just 3 days: summarising last week's Information+ Conference in Edinburgh (#infoplus2023) is no easy feat but I'll do my best!
I had a fantastic time trying out #scrollytelling for the first time and reflecting on the important role of data visualisation in starting conversations and creating impact.
I was particularly struck by the potential of data physicalisation to transform societies.

@InfoPlusConf conference was simply amazing! I just want to say thank you to all the organizers, Uta Hinrichs @uta_ente and Benjamin Bach @benjbach and the fantastic student team. It was hands down one of the best conferences I've ever been to. At least nowhere else was the dancing so entusiastic ;-) #infoplus2023

@wonderveilleuze @kristinHenry another reason for little activity on #infoplus2023 here is probably the current state of social media. there was a bit more activity on birdsite, but the alternatives to the fediverse (let's put it this way) do not interoperate and there is no easy way to follow what is being said across platforms. now thinking back to last week, maybe we could have had a #vissocial registration party (as a social activity). i assume many attendees would feel very welcome here…

what i also really liked about #infoplus2023 was that many presenters shared various materials making it easy to reuse these for teaching, research and practice.
here are some freely available tutorials, toolkits and templates:

some recurring themes in my notes:
- vis co-design is expanding to involve formerly excluded people
- there is a growing interest in improving the accessibility of vis
- critical recognition of historically suppressed voices in our data
- people can (and do) acquire data and vis literacy at many academic stages
- digital tech is optional: the natural/physical world is full of data
- sound and speech can complement visualizations
- there is a growing concern for work-life balance -
it might not be apparent from the posts here, but #infoplus2023 was a blast of inspiring presentations and lively conversations! thank you, Uta, Ben and the whole @InfoPlusConf team for making us feel so welcome in Edinburgh!
not sure if i am getting too old for live-posting or if it was the jam-packed program (probably both), but there was a lot of good things to take in: from workshops and presentations to the exhibition and socials…

Ok, so I'm really surprised to see so few posts about #infoplus2023 on mastodon in general, let alone on vis.social.

@AJBurns ‘s wonderful talk #infoplus2023 on memes in visualization (and interpreting them as queer use) reminds me of this thread about the collection of “cursed charts” students in my 2020 vis for pub policy collected
