Dear Martin,
Many thanks for alerting us to this project. I am so happy to expand the breadth of the "crisis mapping" syllabus to go beyond research on war in political science, which is my background. Thanks for the insight!
Best,
Jen
Dear Jen,
Such a great list of articles, including Your own work. Still: Maybe it could be interesting for Your future students to be aware of the WHO and it s GIS-program and crisis responses at: http://www.who.int/health_mapping/en/

Hi All,
In her well-considered comments about ICCM 2009, Emily Jacobi suggested we should all work to ensure CM*Net involves local activists, partners, and populations affected by crisis themselves. She said, "our local partners from the Thai-Burma…
This is awesome! :)
Thank you, Jen! I hope to see lots of crisis-mapping practitioners in the dailogue adding their examples, challenges, resources, questions, ideas...etc.
We have two more featured practitioners that have just agreed to participate today:

- Bio
- Professor Jen Ziemke, (Ph.D. University of Wisconsin-Madison), is Assistant Professor of International Relations at John Carroll University (JCU). She is also a Crisis Mapping Fellow at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI).
Jen's research applies spatial and temporal econometric analysis, dynamic visualization, and in-depth historical and archival research to develop unique crisis maps that reveal underlying conflict processes. She recently employed these techniques to carry out the most comprehensive data-driven study of the Angolan civil war ever produced. For this project, she coded and geo-referenced some 10,000 conflict events spanning all 41 years of this violent war using hundreds of sources and a detailed exhumation of Portuguese newspaper archives. Not only is this dataset the world’s most comprehensive dataset on the Angolan civil war, it is one of the largest and most detailed micro-level conflict datasets available in the field of crisis mapping.
Jen teaches courses on conflict processes, African politics, crisis mapping, spatial thinking in the social sciences, international security, and other courses in international relations. She was also a fellow at the International Peace Research Institute (PRIO) and continues her work as a volunteer for Amnesty International, USA as Angola and Namibia country specialist. She served as a Peace Corps volunteer on the Namibian side of the Angolan border from 1997-1999.
- Project(s)
- Together with Patrick Meier, Jen is the co-founder of the International Network of Crisis Mappers (CM*Net) and the co-organizer of the International Conference on Crisis Mapping (ICCM) series. She looks forward to engaging conversation with everyone at ICCM 2010!
