Methodologies

The class will be require you to be hands on about your learning. There will be recorded lectures, tutorials and guided exercises. There will also be discussion of short readings and some quick responses and asynchronous chat or writing about them. In discussion and writing you will have the opportunity to share critical ideas and opinions about the material.

Over the semester we will try out different digital environments–from the easy to the less easy–to explore spatial data and its relationship to the humanities. We will not be building everything from scratch--that would not give us time to do everything that we do in a Core course--but rather experimenting with different forms of data creation, visualization and storytelling. Some of the platforms and ways of working with spatial data objects have been replaced in this semester's remote version of the course to accommodate necessary changes in pedagogy.
