smashwan Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I was wondering if anyone knew of any professors using GIS in their research. I know of a group in Norway that's used it for their work on armed conflict, but not sure there are many in the States. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I cant speak to any professors or academic programs specifically, but I know GIS certainly is utilized for political organizing and analysis for election purposes in this country.

rising_star Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 A lot of people using GIS for that kind of research can be found in geography departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoPuntzJones Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 We're starting to see it used fairly regularly in the redistricting/incumbency advantage literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Higgins Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Lots of people using it to map territorial variation - ranging from studies of electoral fraud to violence in civil war. Less spatial statistics (ie studies of spatial patterns of dependence), more presentation of spatial data... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
