Geonarratives Mapping, Part 1: Mapping Workshop for Women in UP on February 17, 2020; 11am-2:00pm @ PAV 2250

The first Geonarratives Mapping workshop takes place on February 17, 2020 from 11:00am to 2:00PM in Pavilion 2250. The target participants are women from the university. Lunch is provided.

For the first mapstory event, the focus is particular place-making visualizations of women in UP (students, staff, faculty, residents within the university campus). The event seeks to understand and eventually analyse participants’ engagement with their immediate environment and milieu. The Geonarratives Mapping project intends to continue the Diliman Storymaps project that gathers stories of UP constituents, from the underserved/under-represented groups whose mapstories were not told or documented before. 

This endeavor stems from Mapmaking Workshops for Geonarratives - an OVCRD-funded project of the Department of Geography where it aims to conduct mapping workshops to encourage the participants to create their own maps that tell their personal spatial narratives (or geonarratives). Co-led by Joseph Palis and Christelle Bautista from the UP Department of Geography, two more mapping workshops are planned during the second semester of 2020: March 16 (LGBTQ) and March 23 (children).

This event is sponsored by the UP Department of Geography through the Geographies of Media (GEM) and Human Geography (HUG) research clusters, Geography 292 (graduate seminar in Cultures of Mapping and Countercartographies), and the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Development (OVCRD).
