Upcoming event (This Saturday!) at the Osher Map Library and Smith
Center for Cartographic Education on the University of Southern Maine
Portland campus.
What: One-day symposium on Women in Cartography with leading
experts
in both the history and modern practices of cartography

masculinist ideas
Understanding modern cartography requires an appreciation
of this history

current and
cutting-edge scholarship at the intersection of the
humanities and STEM
Relevant to faculty and students with interests in cartography/GIS,
history, women
& gender studies, science studies, and related fields
Where: Cohen Education Center (just off the Glickman Library Arcade)
Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education
