Geospatial Professionalism

Catalog description

Geospatial data, technologies, and applications are influenced by and shape our social, political, and legal environments in numerous ways. This course introduces you to these environments and provides opportunities to explore them through a series of readings, writing exercises, and class discussions. We also examine in detail the moral and ethical implications of geospatial data, technologies, and applications. With this grounding in place, we develop skills to communicate the results of our geospatial work in a professional, effective, and morally and ethically responsible manner.
