The Cartography of Crisis: A Digital Humanities Approach to Visualizing Patterns of Police Violence
Nabeel Siddiqui
Susquehanna University, United States of America
This study employs digital humanities methods and hierarchical hexagonal spatial indexing (H3) to analyze patterns of police violence against African Americans across the United States. Using Local Moran's I statistics on over 13,000 incidents between 2015-2024, it identifies significant geographic clusters and transition zones, revealing how policing practices vary across jurisdictional boundaries.

Emory University, United States of America
This paper presents a case study of a data visualization involving the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database. We explain how theories about historical trauma and the limits of recovery guided our work. We describe our design process, and propose a series of questions that can guide future visualizations of sensitive data.
