Insights into American School Censorhip
This project, completed during my mentorship with the Data Visualization Society, uses open data from PEN America on banned books in the U.S. in 2021, overlaid with state political leanings. I used Mapbox to visualize the correlation between conservative tendencies and the types of banned books. While acknowledging the complex factors behind book bans, the goal is to spark discussion and encourage deeper understanding of the ideologies and stakeholders involved.
