What does it tell us about power/knowledge in geopolitics today? Juan Cole is a professor at the University of Michigan, commentator on the Middle East, and founder of the weblog, Informed Comment. Cole is author of The New Arabs: How the Millennial Generation is Changing the Middle East (2014) and Engaging the Muslim World (2009). Both books will be available for sale at the lecture.

Geographic information science or geographical information science ( GIScience) is the scientific discipline that studies data structures and computational techniques to capture, represent, process, and analyze. It can be contrasted with (GIS), which are software tools. British geographer defined this area in the 1990s and summarized its core interests, including spatial analysis, visualization, and the representation of uncertainty. GIScience is conceptually related to, and, but it claims the status of an independent scientific discipline.

Since its inception in the 1990s, the boundaries between GIScience and cognate disciplines are contested, and different communities might disagree on what GIScience is and what it studies. In particular, Goodchild stated that 'information science can be defined as the systematic study according to scientific principles of the nature and properties of information.

Geographic information science is the subset of information science that is about geographic information.' Another influential definition is that by GIScientist, which states: Geographic Information Science (GIScience) is the basic research field that seeks to redefine geographic concepts and their use in the context of geographic information systems. GIScience also examines the impacts of GIS on individuals and society, and the influences of society on GIS. GIScience re-examines some of the most fundamental themes in traditional spatially oriented fields such as geography, cartography, and geodesy, while incorporating more recent developments in cognitive and information science.
