An Informational Right to the City? Code, Content, Control, and the Urbanization of Information

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 907-927, September 2017., 2017
Abstract Henri Lefebvre talked of the “right to the city” alongside a right to information. As the urban environment becomes increasingly layered by abstract digital representation, Lefebvre's broader theory warrants application to the digital age. Through considering what is entailed by the urbanization of information, this paper examines the problems

Guidelines for creating framework data for GIS analysis in low‐ and middle‐income countries

open access: yesCanadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 320-332, Fall / automne 2016., 2016
Health sciences research is increasingly incorporating geographic methods and spatial data. Accessing framework data is an essential pre‐requisite for conducting health‐related geographic information systems (GIS) research. However, in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) these data are not readily available—and there is a lack of coordinated data ...

The epistemology(s) of volunteered geographic information: a critique

open access: yesGeo: Geography and Environment, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 122-136, July-December 2015., 2015
Numerous exegeses have been written about the epistemologies of volunteered geographic information (VGI). We contend that VGI is itself a socially constructed epistemology crafted in the discipline of geography, which when re‐examined, does not sit comfortably with either GIScience or critical GIS scholarship.

Towards a study of information geographies: (im)mutable augmentations and a mapping of the geographies of information

open access: yesGeo: Geography and Environment, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 88-105, January-June 2015., 2015
Information has always had geography. It is from somewhere; about somewhere; it evolves and is transformed somewhere; it is mediated by networks, infrastructures, and technologies: all of which exist in physical, material places. These geographies of information about places matter because they shape how we are able to find and understand different ...
