SUMMARY:Geography presents Dr. Matthew Wilson
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to announce that our guest speaker\, Dr. Matthew W. Wilson\, will finally make his trip to our campus and give a lecture at 3pm on Friday (Mar. 13th) in Wilkson 145H. This is a make-up event because of the closure of UB during the Geography Awareness Week last year. ———————————————————————————————– \n \nFor more information:\nAbstract:\nThe origin stories that surround geographic information systems focus in on the 1960s\, as a period of intense advancements in computer supported cartography. In this presentation\, I examine one site of such innovation: the Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics (and Spatial Analysis)\, founded by Howard Fisher in 1965. By examining the growing interest and expansion of computational methods in the analysis and representation of spatial data\, I reconsider and rescale what we might mean by innovations in digital mapping. \nBio:\nMatthew W. Wilson is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Kentucky and a visiting scholar at the Center for Geographic Analysis at Harvard University. He co-founded and co-directs the New Mappings Collaboratory which studies and facilitates new engagements with geographic representation. His research in critical GIS draws upon STS and urban political geography to understand the development and proliferation of location-based technologies\, with particular attention to the consumer electronic sector. He has previously taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design\, and his current research project focuses on the founding of the Laboratory for Computer Graphics at Harvard in 1965\, a catalyzing moment in the advent of the digital map. \n
