Maps & Colonialism - 4 Weeks

Mon+Th, 6-8pm ET
4 weeks, March 3-20

What is considered "truth" in mapping? This course will look at historical, artistic, and poetic mapping projects that challenge conventional Western cartography. We explore critical approaches to maps and think through different geographic experiences, constructions, and imaginaries. Participants will consider questions about borders, boundaries, land, water, and memory, while sampling different geography projects.
