This introductory workshop is targeted toward scholars\, practitioners\, and re searchers who are interested in finding ways to represent their data and r esearch materials spatially. Rather than focusing on a single software or technical workflow\, participants will be introduced to a variety of metho ds\, tools\, and platforms to create maps or spatial representations. Part icipants will also be walked through key questions to manage research proj ects\, and learn how to evaluate tools and workflows for their applicabili ty to their projects.
Think of this workshop as a wayfinding tutoria l for navigating what questions to ask yourself at the beginning of a proj ect comprising spatial data. By the end of this workshop series\, particip ants will be able to:
