The mapping was done on a map creator called Maphub. The aim of the map is to link events and money flow to Israeli universities, this exhibits just how these universities along with national and international donors aid the occupation and continue to oppress the Palestinians. Through reading the map, one should learn that elites all together participate in hegemony.
The mapping procedure included: the design, colors and the pinning of the images and locations, done by Ahmad, Rana and Yara.

The data from each university was retrieved by everyone and categorized them extracted by Tamara and Sirine.
In terms of the background information that was added in the map, they were all derived from research papers and summaries made by each member of the group.

Finally, this paragraph about the collaborative group process, as well as the resources included were done by Tamara and Sirine.
