Adapting to the Machine

Geographic information systems (GIS) represent a technology developed over the past 30 years to facilitate the storage of spatial data and the solution of spatial problems. Recently, encouraging work in geography has begun to show the power of this technology for studying diverse social issues at a variety of scales. In this paper we demonstrate how social and spatial linkages might be effectively illustrated using GIS in qualitative, action-oriented research. In particular we focus on a component of the discipline that has traditionally not used GIS technology: feminist, community-based action research. We do this through a hypothetical dialogue between two geographers: a researcher with expertise in GIS and GIScience, and a researcher using feminist participatory and case-study methods who is interested in incorporating GIS into her studies. The dialogue will illustrate how a research strategy that combines GIS and qualitative methods might be advanced, using a specific study as the focus or the discussion
