The Mapping Inequities Fellowship – Apply Now!

The Mapping Inequities Fellowship – Apply Now!

Deadline: 13-Feb-22

Applications are now open for the Mapping Inequities Fellowship.

The US Fellowship program will consist of a two and half week virtual workshop. A group of 20 American and European Fellows and Senior Fellows will embark on a collaborative investigation and interpretation of spatial data within their respective geographies to illuminate pressing social inequities. These investigations will result in projects that will form an accessible digital exhibition for the public.

Each day, Fellows will spend three hours in virtual sessions and two hours engaged in on-the-ground inquiries and practice. The virtual sessions will consist of lectures from international mapping/data practitioners and academics leading this innovative field. The virtual workshops will also include sessions to learn and critique each other’s projects. The on-the-ground inquiries will involve working in the field, moving away from the computer to explore and generate knowledge and design a project. The projects in the field may be undertaken individually or in small groups if location and technology permit. Fellows choose the community or space that they map, as long as they have access to it geographically or digitally. The purpose of the fieldwork is to produce new data or layer existing data to create a new map.

After the conclusion of the 2.5 week Fellowship, participants will be expected to expand upon their maps and/or share and use their maps in social justice contexts over the next year. Fellows will also be expected to join the Action Lab Series, which convenes monthly from September 2022-February 2023.
