Where have the cartographers gone? The status of cartography instruction within U.S. geography departments and programs
Academic cartography continues to be shaped by advancements in computing technology and the growing emphasis on emerging geospatial disciplines, especially geographic information science and technology (GIS&T). Within geography departments and programs, stand-alone courses in cartography are offered within an increasingly crowded field of technical subjects. At the same time, recent graduates whose work involves mapmaking are less likely to ident…
Lockdown lessons
We report the findings from two global panel “conversations” that, stimulated by the exceptional coronavirus pandemic of 2020/21, explored the concept of resilience in geographic science teaching and learning. Characteristics of resilient teaching, both in general and with reference to GISc, are listed and shown to be essentially what might in the past have been called good teaching. Similarly, barriers to resilient teaching are explored and stra…
Introduction to special issue on frontiers of geospatial data science from the joint Ucgis symposium / Autocarto 2018 conference
The “Frontiers of Geospatial Data Science” was the theme of a joint meeting of the Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS) and the University Consortium for Geographic Information Sc
Critical Spatial Thinking
Critical spatial thinking incorporates spatial concepts and geographic principles to guide and inform reasoning. The regular practices of critical thinking are applied within a context or situation involving geographic information, whether the thinker is the producer or consumer of such information. By applying knowledge of scale, location, distance, and other spatial concepts and notions, a critical spatial thinker understands problems, derives …
Roles for GIS within Higher Education
The use and awareness of GIS is steadily increasing across institutions of higher education in the United States. With this popular growth comes an opportunity to establish greater awareness of mapping, spatial reasoning and geography in general. Many colleges and universities pursue and support active and problem-based learning approaches, undergraduate research programmes, and service-learning and civic-engagement activities. General education …
