Abstract
The 2021 CHCCS Achievement Award from the Canadian HumanComputer Communications Society is presented to Professor Tamara Munzner (UBC) for her numerous high-impact contributions to the field of information visualization research. Her research interests include the development, evaluation, and characterization of visualization systems and techniques from both user-driven and technique-driven perspectives. CHCCS invites a publication by the award winner to be included in the proceedings, and this year we continue the tradition of an interview format rather than a formal paper. This permits a casual discussion of the research areas, insights, and contributions of the award winner. What follows is an edited transcript of a conversation between Tamara Munzner and Matthew Brehmer (Senior Research Staff at Tableau and former PhD student) that took place on March 8th, 2021.
