The Center's research process is characterized by:

  • Identifying key geographic factors that influence educational policy and practice.
  • Employing advanced GIS and MMGIS tools to analyze these factors and their impacts.
  • Integrating qualitative research to provide context and depth to our findings.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to translate research into policy recommendations.
  • Continually evaluating the effectiveness of implemented policies, ensuring they promote spatial justice and educational equity.

Through this comprehensive approach, the Center not only contributes to academic knowledge but also provides practical solutions to real-world challenges at the intersection of geography and education policy.
