Geospatial Learning Across the Curriculum at NYU

The author of this text is a librarian from New York University's Data Services team who has been working closely with CARTO, a cloud-based GIS platform, to support geospatial learning across the curriculum at NYU. The team has seen an increased demand for simpler web-ready GIS platforms and has found that CARTO meets this need. They have successfully integrated CARTO into various courses, including a three-semester urban research project that brought together students in New York and Buenos Aires to examine how urban arts and politics intersect. Students were able to use Fulcrum to gather images of graffiti locations and contribute to a class-wide dataset, which was then visualized in CARTO. The integration of data from the dataset with socio-economic data allowed students to analyze themes addressed in collected street art instances and explore the forces of legality and property. The team is excited about the potential of CARTO to extend possibilities of spatial learning and reach a broader segment of students at NYU, particularly undergraduates who are not familiar with GIS methods.
