We invite all locals to join us on Friday night (June 15) from 6 to 10 pm at the Bingham-Davis House, at the Gaines Center for the Humanities for a reception (food by Gumbo Ya Ya) and series of lightning talks. These talks will be short (an interactive) introductions (5 to 7 minutes) to some of current, exciting research on user generated geo-data (such as Flickr, Twitter) as well as some critical reflections on it. Talk titles include:
- How Flickr data represents the U.S.-Mexico Border
- Countermapping DigiPlace at the Vancouver Olympics
- The promise and peril of gleaning "socially relevant" neighborhood boundaries from social media
- Balloon Mapping
- Mapping Zombies: A Guide for Digital Pre-apocalyptic Analysis and Post-apocalyptic Survival
- User-generated political geographies
- Mapping Experience and Emotion
- Brothels, Strippers and the Gendered Democracy of OpenStreetMap
- User-generated data and journalism
- What sources of user-generated, geocoded data are there? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Who is collecting/using it? (This will include an overview of the New Maps Twitter project at the University of Kentucky.)
- What has been written on user-generated and VGI data? What are key questions? What are common problems?
- Setting a research agenda and organizing a Symposium for the AAG meeting in Los Angeles next year.
- Bringing user generated data into education
- How to visualize VGI and social media
- And a range of fun stuff such as MapAttack and Werewolf
