Overview: The "spatial turn" in the Humanities has seen the development of powerful tools and techniques for systematically describing the spatial dimension of events, and developing narratives and arguments based on that data - to enable new research, and to communicate research in new ways. In this session our GIS expert Godwin (from the Technology for ResearchLink opens in a new window team) gives a fast and engaging survey of the state of the art, the possibilities, and exciting examples.
