Bending Lines: Maps and Data from Distortion to Deception

Garrett Nelson, Curator of Maps and Director of Geographic Education at the Leventhal Map and Education Center at the Boston Public Library

Nelson will introduce BENDING LINES, a new initiative of the Norman B. Leventhal Map and Education Center at the Boston Public Library. BENDING LINES extends the category of “persuasive cartography” to interrogate a broader question of truth and belief as they are constructed through cartography and data visualization. Ranging from C16 attempts to reconcile Ptolemaic geography with the European discovery of the Americas to present-day maps that take a critical approach to data and GIS, BENDING LINES explores how the reliability and accuracy of maps is always structured by social, political, and institutional context.

Date/Time: Thursday, July 30, 2020 @ 5:00 PM MT (7:00 PM ET)
Speaker: Garrett Nelson is Curator of Maps and Director of Geographic Education at the Leventhal Map and Education Center at the Boston Public Library. He is a historical geographer whose research focuses on the history of placemaking and planning in New England, with an emphasis on the role of maps in the creation of civic knowledge. He is also a cartographer and programmer with an extensive portfolio of projects that draws from fields like urban studies, historic preservation, and landscape architecture.
