Humanistic GIS Laboratory

Geographic information is not only a technical instrument, but also a moral and affective medium — capable of care, connection, and collective memory.

Through research, teaching, and public scholarship, we examine how geospatial technologies can serve as instruments for empathy, justice, and human understanding — even as we interrogate deepfake geography, the collapse of GeoAI, and the reproduction of bias in geospatial big data. We pair theoretical critique with hands-on cartography, paying close attention to how spatial data is produced and whose worlds it makes legible.
