Spatial Humanities

Spatial humanities is an interdisciplinary field that combines the study of human culture, history, and society with geographic and spatial analysis. It uses maps, geographic information systems (GIS), and visualization tools to understand patterns and relationships in cultural data. By examining the spatial dimensions of historical events, literature, or social phenomena, researchers can gain deeper insights into how location influences human experiences and interactions. This approach enriches our understanding of the humanities by highlighting the importance of space in shaping our world and its narratives.
