Digital Project: Documenting the Gentrification of Highland Park
About
The lab component of Spatial Justice (CTSJ 352) is designed to engage the students with digital tools and platforms for research and community activism. It will introduce students to the various aspects of developing research-oriented digital content: content management system; data collection and analysis; digital mapping and visualizations; and digital storytelling. Focusing on the topic of gentrification of the Highland Park neighborhood as a case study, the students will collectively create a resource site that is accessible to the community partners of the course. The collaborative and cumulative process of the final project is an opportunity for the students to learn digital tools and digital storytelling, as well as think critically about methodology and knowledge production. Objectives
Develop research questions based on course materials and community feedback.
Gather and analyze data through mapping and visualizations.
Document the impact of gentrification through digital storytelling.
Integrate quantitative and qualitative aspects of a phenomenon.
