Please summarize your thoughts in a blog post in preparation for debates on May 14. See the May 14 page for guidance on blog post content.

In the debates, some of you will focus on Xun Shi’s talk, and some on Mei-Po Kwan’s. Some of you will introduce the content of the talk from a neutral point of view and then moderate the debate. Some of you will debate in favor of expansion of capabilities and applications for spatial big data research. Others will debate in favor of curtailing and limiting spatial big data research. In your arguments, be sure to raise theoretically-informed arguments about ethics and reproducibility.
