Abstract

Many GIScientists are affiliated with institutions beyond what we would call core GIScience. This implies that we teach in degree programs that follow their own curricular logic, and presents us with challenges in terms of what to teach, how to possibly attract students to GIScience careers, and in terms of our own self-images and identities. After briefly taking stock of some of the bigger curricular initiatives from the past 30 years, and informed by a brief discussion of key arguments and findings regarding teaching GIScience 'elsewhere', this commentary aims to stimulate discussion on the multifaceted and multidisciplinary nexus in which many of us are embedded. The commentary includes short reflections on the implications of the multidisciplinary contexts mentioned for the creation of a GIScience identity among students enrolled in other degrees, recruitment of PhD students and faculty, and what all this possibly means for how we see ourselves as GIScientists.

跨学科关系下的地理信息学教学
许多GIScientists隶属于我们称之为核心GIScience之外的机构。这意味着我们在遵循他们自己课程逻辑的学位课程中进行教学,并在教学内容、如何吸引学生从事GIScience职业以及我们自己的自我形象和身份方面给我们带来了挑战。在简要总结了过去30年中的一些更大的课程举措,并简要讨论了关于在“其他地方”教授GIScience的关键论点和发现后,本评论旨在激发人们对我们许多人所处的多方面和多学科关系的讨论。评论包括对在其他学位的学生中创建地理信息科学身份、招聘博士生和教师所提及的多学科背景的影响的简短思考,以及所有这些可能对我们如何看待自己作为地理信息科学家意味着什么。
