Re: [HOT] HOT Summit Idea - Panel on Academic Research HOT
This is indeed a very interesting topic. Especially on maters of how open mapping collaboration projects/systems contribute to under-representation and misrepresentation.

The GeoCenter continues to work with GWU each semester, and have started to coordinate with universities overseas. It would be great to share our experience, and learn from others. Overall the process is coming along nicely.

Re: [HOT] HOT Summit Idea - Panel on Academic Research HOT
This is a really interesting area re. ethnography and visualisation, and directly affects how locals perceive what they are mapping, not to mention the ethical perspectives of 'colonial gaze'. Would love to see careful discussion on this. Thanks for the idea. R On 23/03/2015 00:07, Martin Dittus wrote: Thank you so much for proposing this, I think this would be well worth organising!
