This is a nice compilation of resources assembled for a course entitled MAPPING CONTROVERSIES in MIT’s STS program. The course focuses “…on developing aptitudes for combining multiple ways of knowing: textual interpretation, intensive search in heterogeneous databases, and design tasks; all of which point to the invention of new tools of representation for an increasingly complex environment.
Sounds fun.
Addendum: you can also view an explanatory video about Mapping Controversies, narrated by Bruno Latour

Looks like Mapping Controversies is the new hit – research and teaching at Manchester Architecture School also deal with controversies surrounding design projects and buildings – http://www.mappingcontroversies.co.uk/
