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
 
Why:     Because cartography has long been dominated by men and
masculinist ideas
 
            Understanding modern cartography requires an appreciation
of this history
 
            This is a wonderful opportunity for students to engage with
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
 
When:   17 October 2015, starting at 9:30am (coffee beforehand)
