Abstract A recent opinion piece rekindled debate as to whether geography's current interdisciplinary make‐up is a historical relic or an actual and potential source of intellectual vitality. Taking the latter position, we argue here for benefits sustained integration physical critical human geography. For reasons both political pragmatic, term this area intermingled research practice geography (CPG). CPG combines attention power relations with deep knowledge biophysical science technology in...

Based on anecdotal evidence regarding users, we construct proxies for four possible clientele: computer programming enthusiasts, speculative investors, Libertarians and criminals. Computer illegal activity search terms are positively correlated with interest, while Libertarian investment not.

As a mode of critique, the cyborg is often separated from its role as figuration. This article reviews Donna Haraway's theory to restate importance figuration in critical methodology. Figuration about opening knowledge-making practices interrogation. I argue that enables this inquiry through epistemological hybridization. To do so, figurations not only adopt language being or becoming, but narrate production knowledges, know hybridly. The hybridization includes four strategies: witnessing,...

Even as the meeting ‘revisited’ critical GIS, it offered neither recapitulation nor reification of a fixed field, but repetition with difference. Neither at here do we aspire to write histories which have been taken up elsewhere.1 In strictest sense, one might define GIS set tools and technologies through spatial data are encoded, analyzed, communicated. Yet any strict definition or otherwise, is necessarily delimiting, carving out ontologically privileged status that silences voices in...

Over two decades after the scholarly interventions that coalesced into 'critical GIS' as a field within GIScience, critical GIS remains underdeveloped in conversations on teaching and learning. The literature GIScience education has emphasized content more than pedagogies – what to teach versus how move students toward particular learning objectives. This emphasis is reflected dominant curricular approaches GIS, which questions around complicated origins complicit social, political, economic...

In the context of feverish pace in which social sciences are grappling with implications for a turn toward ‘big data’, I suggest different starting point: that big data not necessarily science data. this somewhat speculative provocation, argue we should lean more on notion media phenomena and less evidence phenomena. doing so, sketch four areas potential criticality an emerging studies.

Geographic information systems (GIS) represent more than a tool for spatial data handling. Qualitative and mixed-methods approaches with GIS value the suite of methods technologies, while typically showing marked sensitivity toward issues subjectivity, knowledge production, exclusion, reflexivity, power relations. Although recent research in use qualitative demonstrates ways which representations analyses can be used as part critical geographic inquiry, there remain significant opportunities...
