Visualizing data is central to social scientific work. Despite a promising early
beginning, sociology has lagged in the use of visual tools. We review the history
and current state of visualization in sociology. Using examples throughout, we
discuss recent developments in ways of seeing raw data and presenting the results
of statistical modeling. We make a general distinction between those methods and
tools designed to help explore datasets, and those designed to help present
results to others. We argue that recent advances should be seen as part of a
broader shift towards easier sharing of the code and data both between
researchers and with wider publics, and encourage practitioners and publishers to
work toward a higher and more consistent standard for the graphical display of
sociological insights.
