Schedule:
Thursday, January 11, 2024: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM

Goals

Participants will share how to work with the community to tell a story about places and apply readily available mapping and spatial analysis tools in their own research in ways that democratize and decolonize knowledge, including engaging participants and partners in data analysis. This four-hour workshop will have four sections:

Navigating Spatial Data Sources: Discover sources of spatial data available, from census data to open data portals. We will evaluate data quality and applicability and have conversations on the types of community partnerships and lived expertise you would need in your own work.

Collecting Spatial Data with the Community: We will invite participants to spend an hour in the field to gather spatial data through a combination of a mobile device (e.g., geotag photos, look up coordinates) and traditional paper surveys.

Exploring ArcGIS Online for Data Insights: Once we data, practice mapping analysis tools in ArcGIS online. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will visualize the data, find optimal locations, and look for “hot spots� (e.g., spatial autocorrelation).

Integrating Spatial Insights into Narratives: In the final segment, we will focus on story telling using qualitative tools such as ESRI story maps to interrogate and convey findings effectively. Participants will think critically about co-creating narratives with the community.

Appropriate Level of Attendee Knowledge

This workshop is designed for individuals at various levels of familiarity with mapping.
