Thomas Mcgurk

Tom's research focus is on the relationship between online mapping and Indigenous peoples in the Canadian context. More specifically it examines how online mapping fits into narratives related to colonialization and counter mapping practices to understand what impact it may have on bridging gaps between Western and Indigenous systems of knowledge. Tom is currently working as a lecturer at Concordia University in the Department of Geography, Planning, and Environment. He is also a founding member of Mappingback.org and a member of the Geomedia Lab at Concordia University in Montreal, QC.
