Abstract: Critical GIS emphasized the ways in which social, political, and economic inequalities are (re)produced through spatial information technologies and attendant practices. In the mid-1990s through the early 2000s, feminist interventions challenged the presumed gender neutrality and universality of GIS and brought gender to the fore of Critical GIS concerns. However, the rise of nascent web-based spatial information technologies-or new spatial media-signals the need to extend this work to determine how it is that… Show more

“…As geographic information systems (GIS) became entrenched as a mainstream presence within the discipline, critical cartography likewise influenced the flourishing of Critical GIS, which constituted a concerted effort at incorporating what were at the time trenchant critiques of the technology and its attendant practices (see Pickles 1995). Critical GIS drew on feminist critiques of both science and (scientific) representation to challenge the supposed neutrality of GIS (see Leszczynski and Elwood, 2015). Feminist critiques of science were used to further challenge the inherent epistemological limitations of GIS artefacts (maps) and practices of discretization in two additional ways.…”

“…Sarah Elwood and her co-researchers have begun to research different aspects of collaborative and community-based mapping, to offer a critical interpretation of big data and the Geoweb, reorienting attention to the power of technical and political infrastructures in privileging certain kinds of information, moments, or affordances, and drawing attention to the exclusions that are normalized in the apparently neutral specifications of mapping projects on the Geoweb (see Elwood 2010aElwood , b, 2011Elwood and Leszczynski 2012). This kind of research also draws attention to the importance of the research discourse around Geoweb projects, that script a boosterist neogeographic agendain which VGI remains somehow separate from the powerful forces of commerce that maneuver around the technology, deploying it as part of their accumulation strategies (see Leszczynski and Elwood 2014). Technical research elides the social and political context of Geoweb projects and in so doing allows them to advance as "new", without having to think about why or how they are advancing.…”
