Abstract: | Geospatial technologies can be leveraged by community members to identify physical and social barriers to youth participation in out-of-school-time (OST) activities. In this paper, we describe Community Conversations, a case model of an intentionally designed sociotechnical system to support a community’s redesign of their informal learning ecosystem. The model combines data and geospatial analysis with grassroots community engagement. Our approach supports a community-driven method for defining the vision of what an equitable OST learning ecosystem should look like. We share experiences with complex modeling of sociopolitical dynamics (often unrepresented in data mining and geospatial technologies) and reflect on our understanding of the “geographic expression” of socioeconomic inequities and injustices. |
