This Call for Papers focuses on receiving articles that focus on cultural mapping from a Global South, or at least non-Western only perspective. The guest editors also call for papers that offer innovative methodological approaches, including creative approaches to mapping, or radical and alternative forms of mapping, or mapping approaches that don’t focus on physical spaces but are maybe mapping of place-based shifting cultural practices or policy issues.
