Teaching & Trainings — TraceSpatial

Teaching & Training

Principal of TraceSpatial, Stephen Metts, has maintained over a decade of teaching and training experience in GIS technologies. Currently a Part-Time Associate Professor at The New School in New York City, Metts' teaching has two primary goals: to empower students in developing accurate, effective, quantitative analysis of complex urban and global challenges, and to understand the technical processes of doing so, using current GIS technologies. In short, students make maps from data sets on complex issues, delivering meaningful and actionable findings.

Metts' current courses include a graduate seminar lecture focused on mapping global challenges and an undergraduate course introducing students to the fundamentals of GIS
