I've been wanting to create a subgrouping of my bibliographic database on the topic of 'critical GIS' for some time. I've finally completed a draft (no doubt, a work in progress)! I hope others will find it useful, as I've enjoyed revisiting some of these key interventions. To see the bibliography that I use for my introductory GIS course, click here.
For one academic year, I've attempted a different type of approach to an introductory course in GIS, drawing on various curricular strategies of Nadine Schuurman , Sarah Elwood , Francis Harvey , and Meghan Cope . In this course, students work through introductory technical skills, while simultaneously reading/writing about and discussing the GIS & Society tradition. In this brief post, I'm asking students who participated in this introductory GIS course to reflect on what it means to practice 'critical GIS'.
I really enjoy this list. Every article that I could think as something that should appear was there, and I found a couple more that caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteI'll always have a special affinity for JB Harley's "Deconstructing the Map." Sent me (barreling?) down the path I'm following today.
