Introduction to social media and location information minitrack

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademic

Abstract

This minitrack focuses location information generated through the use of digital and social media, with a particular emphasis on how that information may be collected and interpreted to better understand how location and environment intersect with social, political, and economic forces. Interpreting social media through an explicitly spatial lens, these papers engage, on one level, the praxis of gathering and visualizing spatial information and, on another, theoretical explorations of the generation, capture, use, and exchange of the intersection of location information and social media data.
