Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has frequently been explored as a technology supporting the visualization of findings in qualitative research. This presentation confronts the lingering perception of GIS as an exclusively quantitive tool. It concludes with a demonstration geovisualizing qualitative data from transcripts of interviews in the Southern Oral History Project as part of a recursive data analysis process.
