Mapping International Conflict with Claire Boccon-Gibod

[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to the Data Journalism Podcast.

I'm Alberto Cairo.

And I'm Scott Klein.

So this week, Scott and I talked to Claire Boccon-Gibod, who is the senior data visualization designer at the International Crisis Group.

Her team recently published The Fight for Sittwe, a visualization of the ongoing civil war in Myanmar that looks at key geographical shifts in the conflict.

Claire is a really talented designer and, and cartographer.

That's the reason why we invited her.

She originally contacted me, and I took a look at her work.

I was not familiar with her work.

I said, "Well, you will be the perfect guest for a posca- podcast." So here is the official invite, and that's how we got her.

We go really deep into Claire's process, um, into the project itself, how it was built, and how she thought about the data visualizations as a part of the storytelling.

We'll have links to Claire's project in the show notes.

So let's get into it.
