Last week, our EORC members Richard Lemoine-Rodríguez and Johannes Mast attended the Spatial Humanities conference 2024 in the Franconian city of Bamberg.
Our colleagues presented Geolingual Studies, a collaboration between the Department of English Linguistics and the EORC. They shared the goals of the collaboration and some of their most recent research on human mobility and migrants’ discourses, as well as the relationship between social media activity and urbanization. They had insightful discussions about the potentials and proper ethical use of social media data in a spatial context.
Beyond that, the conference was a great place to learn about the use of spatial data for historical studies and heritage management.
