Panel on Spatial Justice as Research Practice

Spatial Justice as Research Practice: Public Scholarship and the Politics of Mapping In/Justice

When: Tuesday, 9/21, 3:30-4:45pm Where: Register Here for the Online Event This panel brings together researchers engaged with a diverse array of recent spatial humanities projects to consider the conceptual, practical, and political dimensions of their work. What practices of data collection and interpretation might guide the creation of spatial platforms about (in)justice? What publics are envisioned and assembled by these projects? What roles can design play—infrastructurally, graphically, and experientially—to trouble distanced consumption and foster recognition? Join us for a discussion of three projects: Detours: A Decolonial Guide to Hawai’i (Hōkūlani K. Aikau & Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez); Separados/Torn Apart (Alex Gil); and A People’s Guide to Nuclear Colorado (Sarah Kanouse & Shiloh Krupar).
