The following is from the DML Competition submitted by myself and my colleagues. This is an expansion of a project I have been working on for the last two years. We are very much interested in your critical and constructive commentary.

Beyond "Flat Maps": GIS and the Humanities
I was asked by our Humanities Computing department to put together a discussion about how I've started using a Geographic Information System in my analysis of US novels of the 1930s. The result was a powerpoint presentation / 26 minute podcast on the possiblities available when taking a sharp spatial turn in the humanities. Here i've included a few more sentences about the presentation as well as links to more information about it.

Tracing or traversing?
In my dissertation research, I am interested in the mappings of Seattle neighborhoods, conducted by local residents, facilitated by a Seattle nonprofit organization, using mobile technology originally developed by a foundation in New York City. More diffusely, I write about ?technologies? as both the material hardware and software that grew to prominence in the late 1990s alongside the development of social technologies: indicators that measure quality-of-life, broken windows theories of crime and urban decay, and the training of residents to view their streets in replicable ways.

Living in Spatial Reality
The GIS and mapping panel provided a small overview of spatial technologies. The panelists hoped for a visually-defined landscape of the web, something that we?ve been mostly living without until recently, attempting to adapt our minds to the concept of virtual spaces and containers where our ?stuff? (and some ways the world as a whole) is: friends, files, photos, and more. This angle of investigation is similar to work revolving around interface.
