C4BHI's Jody Kamon and Lisa Natkin created a subgroup of SCENE along with Cindy Char, Jennifer Jewiss, and Qing Ren.

Together they explored equity in data visualization by reading and discussing:

  1. Unfair Comparisons: How Visualizing Social Inequality Can Make It Worse, a 2022 article by Eli Holder published in Nightingale, the journal of the Data Visualization Society.

  2. Data Feminism, Chapter 3: On Rational, Scientific, Objective Viewpoints from Mythical, Imaginary, Impossible Standpoints, by Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein, published by MIT Press in 2020.

  3. Do No Harm Guide: Applying Equity Awareness in Data Visualization, a 2021 report by Jonathan Schwabish and Alice Feng published by the Urban Institute.
