Mike Migurski and Sarah Williams inhabit practices verging interaction design.   Migurski is partner and Director of Technology for Stamen Design, a design and technology studio known for their civic-minded data visualizations and development of open-source mapping tools. Williams is currently the Director of Columbia's Spatial Information Design Lab, overseeing the lab’s efforts to connect social data with geography. Prior to her appointment at Columbia University, Williams assisted in the development and eventual establishment of SENSEable City Lab at MIT.   Migurski and Williams convene to discuss a range of topics related to their respective practices, such as delightful moments in cartography and the ethics of data visualization.   On the Verge is a series of moderated conversations-between-pairs presented during the Spring 2012 semester. Pairs inhabit practices verging interaction design (architecture, data visualization, entrepreneurism et al.). Conversations are meant to explore the seams and intersections between practices through exchange, inquiry and the emergence of innovative ideas.   January 20, 2012 6
