In honour of our lost colleague Anna K. Dvorak, we draw from elements of her last unfinished manuscript to explore new directions in critical GIS education and practice. Anna was a recent PhD in Geography hired into a critical GIS tenure‐track position. The ways in which she wove GIS practice through her research interests, teaching sensibilities, and community advocacy experiences defied easy categorization; we argue she represents a new generation of geography graduate student who is redefining where and how critical GIS education occurs. Anna's social and environmental justice work with the Pacoima Beautiful non‐profit organization in southern California formed the basis for an on‐going research initiative that gave her the opportunity to experiment with GIS as advocacy tool in the hands of local high school students. At the time of her death she had completed an initial draft of a manuscript situating this work in broader community activism issues. We remember Anna by presenting large sections of her work unaltered, interwoven with our commentary on the significance of her approach to critical GIS in a time of shifting academic and corporate commercial relationships to the technology.

对于安娜:在关键GIS之后,接下来该怎么办?

为了纪念失去的同事Anna K. Dvorak,我们借鉴了她最后未完成的手稿中的内容,探索了关键GIS教育和实践的新方向。安娜(Anna)是地理学的最新博士,被聘为重要的GIS任职职位。她通过自己的研究兴趣,教学敏感性和社区倡导经验来编织GIS实践的方式不容易分类。我们认为她代表了新一代地理研究生,她正在重新定义GIS教育的地点和方式。安娜与南加州Pacoima Beautiful非营利组织的社会和环境正义工作为正在进行的研究计划奠定了基础,这使她有机会在本地高中生手中试用GIS作为倡导工具。在她去世时,她完成了一份手稿的初稿,将这项工作置于更广泛的社区行动主义问题上。我们记得安娜,因为她展示了她大部分工作的原封不动,并与我们的评论交织在一起,这说明了她在将学术和公司商业关系转移到该技术时对关键GIS的重要性。
