Webinar: "Ethical Spatial Analytics"

Date and Time: 9 February 2021 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM Eastern Time


As part of its annual workshop series, the Spatial Analysis Research Center (SPARC) at Arizona State University is presenting a webinar on Ethics in Spatial Analysis Analytics. This event will also be the inaugural webinar in a broader, multi-year initiative on ethics in geographic research being jointly organized by The American Association of Geographers, Esri, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and SPARC.

Description:
Expert-led discussion of ethical challenges and opportunities at the frontier of geographic research. This conversation is the inaugural webinar in our GeoEthics Series and is a joint-event with the annual workshop series of the Spatial Analysis Research Center (SPARC) at Arizona State University.

Featured speakers:

Mia Bennett (University of Hong Kong) and Luis Alvarez León (Dartmouth College) who will discuss the ethical implications and property regimes of remote sensing

Peter Rogerson (University at Buffalo) – who will present ethical paradoxes that arise when attempting to make decisions based on inferences informed by spatial statistical decision making

Renee Sieber (McGill University) – who will discuss ethical implications of GeoAI and locational big data

Jacqueline Vadjunec (Oklahoma State University) – who will discuss ethical dimensions of spatial analyses based on data generated during citizen science projects, an ongoing need for mixed methods research, and implications of both for reproducibility

An interactive panel discussion hosted by Peter Kedron, Amy Frazier, and Michael Goodchild will follow the remarks of the speakers. We will also introduce a series of follow-up activities, preview forthcoming lectures, and provide further information on how to engage with the ongoing AAG GeoEthics Series.

We remind you that IAPG labels with the term "geoethics" a concept with wider meaning that is related to human being-Earth system interaction:
