Overview:
This course is a graduate-level seminar on conceptual motivations and technical approaches for analyzing spatially arrayed data for social science research. There are two joint objectives to this course: to gain a conceptual understanding of the role of space in sociological processes and to become technically proficient with various methods used to analyze spatial processes.
