GEG-3100: Mapping for Social Justice

Using free, open source tools such as Google Earth Pro, EPA EJSCREEN, OpenStreetMap, QGIS, and Esri Story Maps, this course develops one’s conceptual understanding of place/space and spatial relationships. Students will learn to think critically and creatively about visually representing our world in ways that support social, economic, and environmental justice, and promote community resilience. Students will be introduced to spatial datasets, cartography, and basic geographic information systems (GIS). Those who successfully complete the course will be well on the way toward designing and producing effective reference and thematic maps using freely available software, and gain insight into the interpretation and critique of maps and related information graphics.
