The minor data design focuses on the societal implications of data-driven technologies and the role that design plays in these devolpments. Students research and experiment with distilling and visualizing stories from data.In addition to teaching I was also involved in further developing the curriculum of this minor, designing programs and organizing hands-on workshops, such as Real world data visualisation, Google search stories, and the Anonymous profiling workshop.

At the Master Editorial Design I gave lectures about propaganda and the art of storytelling. Through research and audiovisual experiments, students analyzed different propaganda techniques, in political and commercial context, and the persuasive power of the audiovisual medium.
