GIS and Spatial Analysis Work Session (May 24, 11 am)

Karen Kemp
University of Redlands
Leader, ECAI GIS Team

A number of questions will be addressed in the course of this session.

  1. What difference, if any, exists between doing spatial analysis with GIS in the Humanities and using GIS to support Humanities "analysis"? Are these differences significant and relevant to ECAI?

  2. What is the goal of a discussion in ECAI on GIS Analysis in Humanities Research? What should "analysis" include here? What is our agenda?

  3. What other communities are doing work relevant to the use of GIS analysis in the Humanities (i.e. critical GIS, historical geography, cognitive science, GIScience)? How is ECAI positioned to facilitate the use of GIS analysis in Humanities? What do we need do better? What does TimeMap need to do?

  4. How should the spatial analysis demonstration projects to be presented in Japan in September be structured? Who will do what?

  5. What specific research projects concerned with humanities GIS analysis we can identify that are a) high priority, b) we are well positioned to propose, and c) fundable?
