This event is hosted by the Osher Map Library & Smith Center for Cartographic Education
All are invited to join us for the 2023 DiMatteo Lecture with Dr. Bill Rankin on Thursday, April 6. This talk is an exploration of how new kinds of cartography can challenge the entrenched politics of mainstream mapping. By combining historical research on the history of data maps with Rankin’s own work as a cartographer over the last twenty years, it argues that contemporary cartography should be guided not just by new data or new technology, but by a new set of values.
This lecture will take place in-person at Hannaford Hall in the Abromson Center on the University of Southern Maine Portland campus.
