Less Talk More Drone: Social Research with UAVs
Birtchnell, Thomas; Gibson, Chris
Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v39 n1 p182-189 2015
There is a growing body of work in geography and sociology on the impact of drones on warfare, surveillance and civil protest. This paper assesses the challenges of using drones for teaching human geography and spatial social sciences. Affordable and expensive drones are now available in the market place; however, there has been next to no reflection on how drones might impact upon the social sciences as a research tool. Yet, unmanned flying vehicles pose some profound possibilities for social and cultural inquiry and aerial data collection.
