| SPACE workshops are intended for instructors of undergraduate students in the social
sciences. They offer content knowledge in methods of spatial analysis, instructional
resources, and professional development support for curriculum planning and learning
assessment. Successful applicants must commit to implementing spatial perspectives
in their undergraduate courses and to providing feedback and documentation to evaluate
the SPACE workshop program. |
| Participants in the program are eligible for scholarship
support for subsistence. The deadline for applications is 15 April 2005. Details
are available at

Introducing GIS for Undergraduate Social Science Courses
1-6 August 2005, San Francisco CA
|
| |
This workshop will introduce social science faculty to GIS and map making. Lectures
will cover GIS fundamentals and key concepts, data visualization, and analytical
cartography. Labs will consist of step-by-step exercises using material from urban
studies, planning, public health, and social policy to teach basic GIS skills. Presentations
and discussions on spatially integrated social science, pedagogy, and assessment
of student learning will complement the collaborative efforts of workshop leaders
and participants in the design of course materials for use in undergraduate teaching.
Although computer literacy is essential, no prior familiarity with GIS or spatial
analysis is required.
Instructors: Richard LeGates (coordinator), XiaoHang Liu,
Ayse Pamuk, and Barry Nickel (from San Francisco State University), Don Janelle
and Stacy Rebich (UCSB). Keynote speaker: Keith Clarke (UCSB. Co-sponsor with CSISS:
The University Consortium for Geographic Information Science

GIS and Spatial Modeling for the Undergraduate Social Science Curriculum
10-15 July 2005, Columbus OH |
| |
This workshop focuses on spatial thinking, spatial
analytic methods and their applications suited for undergraduate social science
courses. These methods include cartographic visualization, space-time modeling of
individual behavior, spatial interaction models, spatial point pattern analysis
and spatial optimization methods. The workshop will also cover curriculum development,
pedagogy and student learning assessment. Workshop participants will consider how
to integrate these methods into instructional modules, exercises, and learning assessment
approaches. Requirements to benefit from this workshop include prior experience
with computer file and data management in applications of quantitative analysis
and GIS in the social sciences.
Instructors: Mei-Po Kwan (coordinator), Alan Murray,
Morton O’Kelly, Kathryn Plank, Michael Tiefelsdorf, Ningchuan Xiao (all of The Ohio
State University), Sara McLafferty (University of Illinois) and Shih-Lung Shaw (University
of Tennessee).

Spatial Analysis for the Undergraduate
Social Science Curriculum
18–23 July 2005, Santa Barbara CA
|
| |
This workshop focuses
on spatial methods and perspectives suited for applications in the undergraduate
social science curriculum, such as exploratory spatial data analysis and cartographic
visualization. Participants will illustrate these methods and design instructional
modules and exercises for use in teaching undergraduates. The workshop will also
explore strategies for curriculum development and assessment of student learning.
Requirements to benefit from this workshop include prior experience with computer
file and data management for quantitative analysis and/or basic GIS applications
in the social sciences.
Instructors: Stuart Sweeney (coordinator), Sara Fabrikant,
Fiona Goodchild, Mike Goodchild, Don Janelle, and Waldo Tobler (of UCSB)
