I'm only just tucking into @jamesbridle's book New Dark Age but what might be interesting to digital geographers and fanatics of John Berger's Ways of Seeing is this bbc radio 4 miniseries from April. @digital_RGS @DigitalGeogSG https://t.co/rPowaQkMni

Big shout out to those presenters at the #aag for whom English is not their first language, and to those who additionally struggle with the effects of jetlag trying to get their message across. Anglophone conferences of this size can be intimidating spaces, I hear you!

@carwyn @ResearchLion @EmmaSlager @agaleszczynski @jgieseking @mattzook Not this year, sadly. With more advance AV tech planning/stable WiFi and consent from panelists that could be great for next year though!

[Digital Geographies @digitalgeogsg]

The whole notion of “canon” needs to go, says keynote panelist @agaleszczynski Past time to stop citing/assigning totalizing theory and political economy of the digital in favor of grounded, empirically-sensitive work that attends to embodiment, difference, and differentiation

[Digital Geographies @digitalgeogsg]

Provocation from #DigitalGeographies keynote panelist @jgieseking to “rethink the politics of visibility” in mapping queer space: whose stories get archived, who should be left off the map and why, inspired by @harassmap, @antievictionmap and many more!

[Digital Geographies @digitalgeogsg]

Keynote panelist Brian Jordan Jefferson came to geography through studying the NYPD and CompStat for his dissertation; doing community-based research he saw how the police used maps and GIS to frame the debate around the spatialization and thinking of crime

[Digital Geographies @digitalgeogsg]

Melissa Gilbert reminds us on the #DigitalGeographies keynote panel that we can’t simply describe/analyze technology and then just “add poor and marginalized people” at the end, but need to center their perspectives and experience throughout our research
