Abstract
Hegemonic assumptions and industry claims regarding the benefits of new toxic industrial facilities on local wages are tested and challenged. Analysis is performed by applying GIScience and Spatial Econometric methods within a critical framework. A call is made to develop more broadly the practice of Counter Analysis, which is presented as an analogue of Counter-Mapping that repurposes Spatial Analytic methods for the pursuit of critical research agendas.
