RESEARCH PROJECT:

INTERSECTIONAL GIS MAPPING

These GIS maps reveal spatial segregation patterns at the city scale that affect the urban experiences of nonhegemonic communities. They do so by mapping demographic distributions and adopting an intersectional framework originally developed by Black scholars. This framework considers multiple and interacting markers of social oppression, such as immigration date, generation and refugee status, nationality, ethnicity, gender, and economic security.
