đź‘˝ Ciao! This is Elena Aversa. Communication designer, PhD student in design, PhD students' representative.
Doing stuff with DensityDesign Lab, at PoliMi.
Researching ways to counteract visualisation-supported information disorders that circulate on social media platforms during societal crises. My PhD is about extending the scope of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) to (misleading) Data Visualisation Literacy.
In the meanwhile teaching Data Visualisation at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), POLIMI Graduate School of Management and PoliDesign. Also a teaching assistant at the DensityDesign studio at PoliMi. Occasionally offering training courses for companies and used to teach Data Visualisation at UniversitĂ degli Studi di Udine.
