Tableau (the software) and Humanities

Discuss the Tableau software, considering, in particular, its uses and limitations when it comes to dealing with humanities data.

Use around 90-100 words for each question.

-briefly introduce the tool, describing its main features and uses
Assess the tools usability, and describe its principal user base.

-describe the characteristics of the data Tableau can make use of, and any limitations on that data.

-describe the kinds of output that Tableau produces, and again, any limitations.

-Does the tool make hidden assumptions about the nature of knowledge, and do we learn anything from making those assumptions explicit?

-How might you make use of this tool in your own work as a digital humanist? Give a hypothetical example, in as much detail as you can muster.

-Does the exercise give you any insight into the COVID-19 visualizations you have been routinely following since the beginning of the pandemic?
