Jin-Kyu Jung Published a Chapter in “How to Foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Geography”

Jin-Kyu Jung published a book chapter titled, “Evoking Critical and Creative Forms of Mapping/GIS for Digital and Health (In)Equity,” in the book on How to Foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Geography. The collected volume—edited by Guo Chen and LaToya Eaves—addresses the pressing challenges facing the Geography and related disciplines in understanding, engaging, and enacting DEI in their research, teaching, service, and outreach.

Jung’s chapter describes an interdisciplinary collaborative critical and creative mapping project of publicly-oriented scholarship of (un)mapping and (re)making knowledge about the hidden geographies of a new digital media landscape. By extending the rich tradition of critical mapping and GIS—to take up their insights and push them toward creative engagement with questions of social and spatial justice, diversity, inclusion, and (in)equity, the chapter shows how critical and creative forms of mapping/GIS demonstrate a powerful praxis for participatory, adequately reflexive, and ethically sensitive forms of mapping and public engagement in geographic research and education.
