Assessing the Effects of Geocomputation Lessons on Secondary School Students’ Perceptions of Geography and Computer Science
Who needs Daddy Warbucks
Families who find themselves in the middle of child protective proceedings have three possible outcomes: (1) the family can reunify; (2) parents voluntarily surrender their parental rights; or (3) the parents have their rights terminated. While it seems we should support children in the second and third scenarios equally, having funding sources such as the Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program (KinGAP) only available to children of parents whos…
They Think We’re Just Ghetto, But Nah!”
With this paper, we document aspects of a year‐long project with 11th‐grade students from a high school in City Heights, San Diego. The students chose to become present, to share their experiences, explore others' understandings of their neighborhood, and collaborate to create an online multi‐media narrative that reflected them and their relations to the neighborhood. Theoretically, we involve a transversal politics that embrace young people's mu…
Building Educational Capacity for Inclusive Geocomputation
To build educational capacity for the rapidly evolving science and profession of geocomputation, the American Association of Geographers piloted an Encoding Geography research-practice partnership (RPP) composed of geography and computer science educators and researchers. This commentary describes the process, known as Collective Impact, that was implemented to investigate the persistent problems of practice that have limited the participation of…

Women and children in a neighborhood advocacy group
This article looks at the community participation of recent Latina immigrant mothers and their children in a neighborhood advocacy group near the US–Mexico border. It documents the work that women and children do as they struggle to become involved in their new community and improve their quality of life – despite legal, social, economic and cultural obstacles. Local context, family and ethnic networks, gendered patterns of women's experiences as…
Gender, Power and Crib Geography
D. W. Winnicott's notion of 'transitional space' is noted as a potentially important contribution to post-Englightenment thinking because it decenters reason and logic in favor of playing with and making use of as the qualities most characteristic of human being. Winnicott is also, perhaps, the one child development theorist whose speculations parallel most closely contemporary post-modern interests of geographers. His principal concerns are how …
