INTERMAPS

Núria Font-Casaseca presented at the IV COLOQUIO INTERNACIONAL CONFLICTOS URBANOS in Lisbon last week🏙️🟢

She discussed about "ReliefMaps+, una herramienta digital para el estudio de las desigualdades urbanas desde una perspectiva interseccional y geográfica"

Thanks to everyone who presented how they used Relief Maps for their research and all of those who attended and showed interest in the tool💜

Grateful for the inspiring conversations and critical feminist perspectives shared throughout✨

#ATGENDER2025 #FeministResearch #GenderStudies

🟣 Last week, our team presented at the ATGENDER Conference at UAB, Barcelona 🟣

🗣️🔎We organized a workshop on the Relief Maps methodology where we shared the new website reliefmaps.upf.edu and talked about different applications of the tool for diverse research topics

📢 Join us for the GRETA Annual Lecture 2025!

Validation isn't just about stats but rather about:
💬 Listening to lived experiences
👀 Questioning neutrality
📍 Locating knowledge in context
With our spiral validation, we offer a replicable model for researchers designing tools beyond the binary.

Our article fills a gap in the literature on validating tools grounded in feminist and intersectional frameworks.
It's more than testing the tool: it’s about co-construction, ethics & deep reflection.

📍 What’s new in our approach?
– Non-linear, iterative validation
– Mixed methods
– Grounded in standpoint theory & data feminism
– Centered on ethics, positionality & reflexivity

🚨 New article!

How do we validate research tools from feminist & intersectional perspectives?

Through critical tools, theories & collaborations, INTERMAPS continues to push geography beyond its boundaries. From GIS histories to climate futures, our work at #AAG2025 reflects mapping as a key tool for justice. 🗺️💜

🌿 Also on March 27, @marcollplanell.bsky.social ll presented her PhD work on climate change in Catalonia in the session Intersectional Feminist Approaches to Climate Justice.

#ClimateJustice #Intersectionality

🛠️ On March 27, @mariarodo.bsky.social and @mapasurbanos.bsky.social co-organized 3 sessions on Building Feminist Mapping Tools & Praxis, along with Meghan Kelly.

Maria presented Mapping Climate Impacts using Relief Maps and Núria explored emotional & relational dimensions of place in GIS.

🧭 On March 26, @mapasurbanos.bsky.social joined the panel Minor Histories of GIS as a discussant. She spoke on the need to draw from other disciplines to rethink GIS through a critical lens—highlighting “minor GISciences.”

📍 From March 24–28, the INTERMAPS team joined #AAG2025 in Detroit: “Making Spaces of Possibility”

We contributed to key sessions exploring critical, feminist & intersectional approaches.

It includes a new theoretical model for conceptualizing intersectional inequalities from a spatial and emotional perspective and the development of new specific methods that combine and integrate qualitative, quantitative, digital and spatial (GIS) approaches.

INTERMAPS wants to contribute to the understanding of how structural inequalities are (re)produced and how they differently affect people’s everyday lives, building bridges between feminist and postcolonial theories, critical geographies and political and social sciences.

It aims to contribute to the study of inequalities and discriminations by proposing a specific framework that can establish a systematization and characterization of intersectional dynamics.

INTERMAPS is a project led by Maria Rodó-Zárate, based at the Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona) and funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant, 2021).
