Abstract: With this pictorial we present the design process of "The Academia is Tied in Knots", an interactive visualization based on sensitive and qualitative data, namely personal stories reported by people who have experienced sexual harassment in academia.

As a result, we identified 24 qualified papers [5,7,9,20,26,27,37,44,45,47,48,50,51,53,57,58,62,65,[70][71][72][73][74]94].…”

Shared goals with that project were (1) honour individual stories without abstracting, (2) usability without any training.…”
