Full Description

This exam focuses on the theoretical foundations of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as applied to the humanities. It emphasizes spatial data analysis and visualization techniques relevant to cultural, historical, and literary contexts.

Understanding GIS is essential in the humanities for accurately representing and interpreting spatial relationships and trends in cultural phenomena. This knowledge enhances interdisciplinary research, enabling scholars to uncover patterns and insights that may remain obscured in textual analyses.

The exam will evaluate the candidate's ability to articulate the core principles of GIS, including spatial data modeling, map design, and the implications of data representation. Candidates will also discuss the integration of GIS with traditional humanities methodologies.

Candidates may be prompted to discuss specific case studies or theoretical frameworks that illustrate the application of GIS within the humanities, demonstrating the relevance and impact of map-making in cultural analysis.
