Description

Feminist interventions in digital geographies, design justice, and data visualization have sparked renewed energy and motivation for articulating a framework for feminist cartographies. While being foundational to contemporary conversations of critical GIS and cartography, feminist mapping remains a niche undertaking. Given the multiscalar influences of maps, from how we move our bodies through space to get a caffeine fix to articulating the need for crisis response to fires caused by climate change, feminist mapping is part of a needed and ongoing conversation for an equitable future. As such, we aim to bring feminist mappers and cartographers, broadly defined, together to build collective conversation around feminist interventions in mapping.Feminist interventions in digital geographies, design justice, and data visualization have sparked renewed energy and motivation for articulating a framework for feminist cartographies.
