Join us for an insightful panel discussion that delves into the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in research, teaching, and its application to environmental justice issues. Our distinguished panelists, each with a unique background working with GIS, will share their experiences, methodologies, and perspectives on integrating environmental justice into their work. From defining environmental justice within the GIS context to exploring challenges and offering practical advice for students, this panel aims to illuminate the ways GIS contributes to the broader understanding of environmental disparities.
Through our conversation, panelists will provide their perspectives on the intersection of GIS, research, teaching, environmental justice, and more broadly social sciences providing a platform for a comprehensive discussion on their experiences and insights in this field bridging the gap between GIS and environmental justice.
