Congratulations to Cate Turk on her successful PhD defense!
A long journey with major stations in Erlangen and Perth (Western Australia) reaches its destination today:
Congratulations to Cate Turk, who successfully completed the final oral examination for her doctoral thesis:
“Hap/hazard mappings: contingent cartographies of crisis and catastrophe.”
Over the past 12 years – alongside numerous care responsibilities and professional commitments – Cate has pursued a long and determined research project focused on the politics and practices of crisis mapping. Her work offers a very critical yet pragmatically constructive perspective on the tech-optimistic hype that shaped much of the debate on digital humanitarianism and crisis mapping in the 2010s.
