ABSTRACT

Feminist interventions have instrumentally shaped critical perspectives in mapping and geospatial technology. This chapter reviews the histories of feminist thought in mapping before delving into contemporary tension points and interdisciplinary feminist visualization. I highlight recent work in data feminism where Catherine D’Ingazio and Lauren Klein present seven feminist principles for data science. I then adapt their feminist principles and illustrate each concept with examples across content (geospatial data), form (map design), and process (mapping workflows). This ‘gallery of possibilities’ serves two purposes. First, the plethora of rich examples makes feminist work visible because it often is erased. Second, the examples deliberately highlight underrepresented mapmakers to center the futures of feminist mapping. In sum, this chapter collates and re-appropriates feminist perspectives in mapping and geospatial technology, perspectives lost within historical and contemporary divergences.
