SUMMARY:LOCUS: Visualizing and Narrating Space
DESCRIPTION:
 Call for Proposals deadline: November 9, 2015. 
  \n
 Please submit abstracts no longer than 300 
 words.\n
 Partners: School of Journalism and 
 Department of Geography\n
 With the advent of digital 
 tools for mapping and geographic information 
 systems (GIS), the increased ability to 
 narrate stories and conduct research over space 
 and time has furnished scholars with new 
 opportunities to visualize their work geospatially. 
 Equally, the adoption of other visualization 
 approaches-from graphs and trees to network 
 diagrams and infographics-has enriched 
 discussions and provided arguments on a variety 
 topics, cutting across the humanities, social 
 sciences, and sciences-as well as beyond 
 the academy. This LOCUS seeks to bring together 
 the narration and visualization of space 
 to examine how scholars and journalists use these 
 new tools and techniques in the their work-whether 
 with fully developed projects, projects 
 in process, or ideas for new projects. 
 \n
 Sponsored by the School of Journalism and the 
 Department of Geography, this LOCUS, "Narrating 
 and Visualizing Space," encourages participation 
 from those working in any field whose 
 research and writing touches on these approaches 
 or uses these techniques.\n
