Yola Georgiadou is Professor in Geo-information for Governance at the ITC Faculty, University of Twente, The Netherlands. Yola studies how social actors structure wicked policy problems characterized by intense disagreement on values and uncertain geospatial knowledge. Currently, she focuses on the interplay of values, principles and artificial geospatial intelligence in humanitarian action. Her methods are qualitative. Her normative orientation is “working with the grain” of local institutions.
