Situating #MeToo A Constructivist Perspective on Designing With Data

This document introduces the various questions, blockades, and off-centre paths encountered in researching and designing a project around tweets with hashtags related to the MeToo Movement. What the paper offers is a perspective on the process of designing with data from a constructivist perspective. Rather than asking what representation fits the data, we reverse the question on two levels. First, the data: we took authorship by selecting the data, and by making choices away from the algorithmic and the superlative. And second on the level of visualisation. Rather than finding the right chart type for the data, we ask what we want the data to be imagined as.
