Hey everyone,
Were organising another 'Innovative Methods seminar' as part of the
University of Glasgows College of Social Science Digital Society & Economy
Interdisciplinary Research Theme - we'd love to invite you all! The sessions
are online - more details on our March event below, hope to see some of you

Title:
Relief Maps: new visual and digital methods for data collection, analysis and
visualization of intersecting inequalities
Relief Maps are a methodological model for studying social inequalities from
an intersectionality perspective, in three dimensions: the social dimension
(positions and identities of gender, social class, ethnicity, age, etc.),
geography (places in daily life) and psychology (effects on emotions). Within
the framework of INTERMAPS project, a new
digital open-access and free tool has been developed:
www.reliefmaps.upf.edu. It includes a visual
way of collecting data on intersectional positions, based on the apple
metaphor, and a new interactive model for the Relief Maps. Moreover, it offers
a GIS tool designed to combine textual narratives, points and areas with
geographic coordinates and places with unknown or more vague locations to
capture the complex qualities of place and scale in relation to the lived
experience of intersectional inequalities.
About our speaker
Maria Rod-Zrate is professor at the
Political and Social Sciences Department. She is graduated in Political
Sciences (UAB), Master in Women, Gender and Citizenship Studies (UB) and PhD
in Geography (UAB). Her research focuses on the study of social inequalities
from an intersectional, spatial and emotional perspective applied to issues
such as the right to the city, gender-based violence or LGBTI-phobia. She is
interested in the spatial articulations among social categories such as
gender, class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or (dis)ability, and their
effects on lived experience. She is currently leading the project INTERMAPS
on social inequalities in everyday life
and coordinates the research on the effects of anti-gender discourses within
the RESIST project. She is the coordinator of
the Research Group on Gender and Inequalities
(GRETA) at the Political and Social Sciences
Department at UPF.
About the Innovative Research Methodologies for a Digital Society (IRMDS)
series:
Algorithms, digital data sets, social media networks, integrated technologies
are all part of our everyday lives. How should we investigate the ongoing
changes and challenges of our digital society? How should we explore our
relationships with digital data and the online world? What are the limitations
and affordances of new methodologies and what ethical considerations should
researchers take into account as they look at the digitalisation of our lives?
The Digital Society and Economy Interdisciplinary Theme Group invites you to
join us for a new workshop series where you can meet researchers who will
share Innovative Research Methodologies that address current digital practices
and phenomena.
The workshops are open to postgraduate researchers, Early Career Researchers,
as well as experienced researchers who want to learn about new methodologies
or share their own experiences with the methods presented in the workshop.
Each workshop will focus on a new method/methodology tried and tested in
various contexts. The workshops are meant to provide participants with the
opportunity to learn about that method/methodology and ask questions about the
process of implementing it. Each workshop will last 50 min. each with time for
presentation and Q&A
