About the Spatializing Poverty Project
Spatializing Poverty is a collaborative research project based upon a National Science Foundation research grant entitled “The Impact of Poverty Mapping on the Geography of Development.”Based on extensive fieldwork in Morocco and France, the project unpacks the contextual aspects of poverty hidden behind poverty maps and aggregate indicators, explores the spatial patterns associated with poverty mapping as an intervention, and how these maps mask layers of scaled politics regarding policies that target the poor.
