CFP: Critical Geography and GIS: A renewal of critical GIS?
Mini-Conference on Critical Geography
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Nov. 5-6, 2010
With the proliferation of online, locative media marking a period of
'neogeography' and producing 'volunteered geographic information' and
the 'geoweb', what is the role of a renewed, critical GIS? We invite
both graduate students and faculty to participate in this discussion
at the intersections of critical geography and GIS, across a broad
range of scholarly activities, including:
theories/concepts/frameworks, research designs and methodologies,
practices and participatory engagements, and pedagogies. We are also
interested in how new generations of critical geographers are using
geographic technologies. More specifically, we hope this session
draws critical geographers working with geographic technologies in
fields such as
- critical health and wellness studies,
- poverty studies,
- decision-making in local governments,
- population studies,
- privacy, ethics, and techno-positionalities,
- GIS use in development,
- studies of intersectionality,
- participatory GIS,
- qualitative GIS, etc.
We hope to organize both a paper session and panel discussion, if
enough interest is generated. Please contact the organizers, Matthew
Wilson ([log in to unmask]) and Rina Ghose ([log in to unmask]) by August
13th.
