Ground-Truthing as Critical Race Feminista Methodology: Toward an Embodied and Community-Centered GIS in Educational Inquiry
Mayra Puente; Verónica N. Vélez
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v37 n5 p1287-1306 2024
This article extends the methodological proposal of "ground-truthing" in Critical Race Spatial Analysis (CRSA) to consider GIS as Critical Race Feminista Methodology (CRFM). Traditionally, GIS technicians are sent into the field to verify remote-sensing data via "ground-truthing." This process was repurposed in CRSA to "ground" mapmaking in the spatial wisdom of Communities of Color to examine "color-lines" and their everyday impact. Missing in this initial (re)conceptualization was the theoretical and methodological sensitivity to examine "spatiality" in these experiences--the more intimate aspects of space that center on identity and knowledge of place. The authors engage CRFM to extend ground-truthing to capture structural and embodied experiences in socio-spatial relationships by redefining technical GIS approaches key to ground-truthing--"projection," "layers," "scale," and "visualization." They conclude with implications for the ongoing practice of GIS, particularly the merits of ground-truthing as CRFM in educational research.
