>
> A variety of currents in critical cartographic theory, research and 
> practice have developed since the post-structuralist critique of the 
> 1980s first disrupted the self-image of Western modern cartography. By 
> the 2010s, it had firmly established itself as a vital subdiscipline 
> within geography and cartography, influencing adjacent fields such as 
> the social sciences, cultural studies, and the arts — challenging 
> traditional notions of authority, objectivity, and representation in 
> mapmaking and spatial theory. Yet, despite its significance, 
> thoroughly reflecting on how these diverse currents have shaped the 
> field and where they might be headed remains an ongoing task.
>
> *Redrawing Space(s)* is designed to continue this task. It's a space 
> for early-career researchers eager to critically engage with key 
> ideas, themes, and methodological tools in critical cartography. The 
> summer school isn't just about learning techniques; it's a chance to 
> question the status quo, experiment with mapping practices, and think 
> through how cartography can serve as a tool for critique and creative 
> resistance—all of which will directly inform and enrich the summer 
> students' own research trajectories.
>
> Set in the vibrant heart of Hamburg / Germany, the programme 
> encourages hands-on experimentation. Participants are encouraged to 
> discuss their own projects and try out new approaches. Hosted at Dock 
> Europe and the University of Hamburg, a hub of creative and critical 
> energy, this summer school promises more than just skill-sharing; it 
> aims to foster a collective spirit of inquiry and collaboration that 
> can propel new ideas and future projects.
>
> The event is for doctoral candidates and advanced students of 
> geography and related disciplines who wish to exchange ideas, explore, 
> and network in the dynamic field of critical cartography. *Please 
> submit your CV and application with a one-page project outline 
> demonstrating how critical cartography is applied in your own research 
> project by March 8.*
>
> /We are looking forward to a fruitful and inspiring summer school./
