Graduate students from any discipline are welcome to attend this hands-on mapping workshop as an exercise in thinking reflexively and creatively about their research. Time allotted includes a lunch after the workshop session.

Mapping is a mode of storytelling. Yet, cartography is often concentrated in the hands of the powerful. In response, “counter-mapping” has developed as a practice that empowers communities to challenge hegemonic narratives about space and foreground subaltern knowledge.

The Mapping and Counter-mapping: Methods for Art, Activism, and Scholarship two-day series also includes talks and a roundtable discussion.

Organized by Jatin Dua and Alyssa Paredes, with Francesca Conterno and Kristi Rhead.
