Topic:  In her richly illustrated lecture, Libby Bischof will address the role of mapmaking in geography and history curricula in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the ways in which geography textbooks contributed to structural racism in primary and secondary education via "Races of Men" lessons and chapters.  She will also talk about how the OML has developed a rich collection of educational materials related to geography and cartography.
Speaker:  Dr. Bischof is the Executive Director of the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education and Professor of History at the University of Southern Maine in Portland, Maine. She did her undergraduate and graduate studies at Boston College.  Her research and teaching interests focus on the cultural and social history of 19th century United States and the history of photography. Her regional interest is New England and Maine.
