Also, this thread is of great interest to me, but I'm entering it quite late and many points have already been discussed. I'll just say a few things: 1) I am thankful to Erica Hagen for her original post, as I think these are critical things to think about. 2) Hagen's point that "there are degrees of local that we are failing to account for" reminds me of many discussions I've had in my own community about what it means to be "from a place," whose voices are viewed as representative of a neighborhood, who has access to power, etc. While much of the discussion here has been in the context of international/humanitarian mapping, these same questions play out on a micro scale in cities and neighborhoods. It is worth thinking about who is mapping in your own community and whether you are working to involve neighborhood residents, do offline outreach, etc. at home. Thanks, Eleanor
