      ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
      This symposium creates space for critically considering digital mapping as both a method and an object of analysis. Specifically, we invite submissions that analyze or utilize spatial media so as to rethink and re-present distributions of capital, power, and privilege in historical, contemporary, and speculative contexts.

      We center “mapping” as an organizing theme for understanding and engaging social (in)justice because of its expanding role in literally and metaphorically arranging contemporary life. The everyday adoption of new spatial media—such as web-based mapping platforms, geosocial applications, and locative data—increasingly orient how society understands the past, experiences the present, and plans for the future. To map social justice and injustice is to consider how spatial media can help draw together dichotomies such as medium/method, art/science, and ontology/epistemology so as to trace, represent, and rework matters of inequity. This symposium thus encourages submissions that explore structural inequities in or through spatial media, especially as they relate to matters of difference—such as race, gender, class, ethnicity, ability, sexuality, and religion. We also encourage submissions that utilize digital mapping to spatially represent historically marginalized perspectives through empirical, textual, archival, participatory, and/or pedagogical methods.

      We welcome 250 word proposals for Short Papers and Gallery Projects that critically address matters of social (in)justice in historical, contemporary or speculative contexts in relation to—but not limited to—the following:
      – mapping in digital humanities and computational social sciences
      – critical and/or feminist GIS
      – participatory and collaborative mapping
      – digital geography, neogeography, and the geoweb
      – spatial learning and digital pedagogy
      – mapping public histories
      – aesthetics and representation in digital mapping
      – mapping of cultural texts and artifacts
      – mapping media ecologies and augmented realities
      – smart urbanism and spatial data infrastructures

      Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the Symposium Committee. 2,000 word papers will be requested prior to the symposium for accepted Short Paper proposals. Panels and keynotes will be livestreamed and the symposium proceedings will be archived in Fordham University’s Institutional Repository. A selection of papers from the symposium proceedings will be invited for inclusion in an edited volume or journal issue.
