To take one example, British maps of 19th century Lagos Island produced by various imperial agents in the overlapping contexts of colonial expansion, enslavement, and war reflect a colonial agenda positing the urban center as blank space. In order to write a history of 19th century Lagos which centers its Indigenous and African inhabitants and their everyday experiences, Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi supplements such maps with an embodied \u201cwalking cartography\u201d and oral histories of the colonized, creating rich \u201cspeculative maps\u201d of the city. Adelusi-Adeluyi\u2019s scholarship grapples with central spatial-historical questions such as: What arguments do, or might, maps make? What revelations do illustrated, oral, spatial, and other kinds of sources provide which the written record does not? How might speculative research methods fill gaps left by power asymmetries exposed in the archival record? What are possible ways to read indigenous history, movements, and knowledge in the physical environment? This panel is inspired by the possibilities that arise from such a \u201csocial and spatial reading\u201d of \u201can incomplete and sometimes fragmentary archive,\u201d in the particular context of pre-colonial or colonial urban history broadly conceived, including examples of \u201cinternal colonization\u201d. \n\nThe Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies welcomes paper submissions from graduate students working on urban history, architecture, mapping or spatial studies, digital humanities, and\/or embodied methodologies. We especially encourage scholarship which centers the perspectives of non-dominant historical actors in creative and critical ways.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150716-21909993@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150716", "building_id":"1000152", "building_name":"Tisch Hall", "campus_maps_id":"541", "room":"1014", "location_name":"Tisch Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["History","Sociology","Social Sciences","International","Interdisciplinary","Immigration","Humanities","Anthropology"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies", "group_id":"2935", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/eihs\/" }, { "group_name":"Department of History", "group_id":"3470", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_150716_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21909993 } , "153074-21915043": { "datetime_modified":"20261002T112123", "datetime_start":"20261002T120000", "datetime_end":"20261002T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-02", "date_end":"2026-10-02", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"First Year SMTD Students Social with Associate Dean Gould", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"First Year SMTD Students Social with Associate Dean Gould", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153074-21915043@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153074", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/18146", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21915043 } }
