Abstract
In this talk, Dr. Margaret Pearce, a U.S. based academic, cartographer and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, will introduce cartography as a form of language, explore some of the structural details of that language, and demonstrate the way that altering those structural details opens up new possibilities for engagement with the reader and other collaborators. Dr. Pearce will share her struggle to achieve those possibilities in her work, for the expression of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous geographies. Each map brings new lessons to the surface regarding imagination, memory, and community. Her hope is that this talk will in turn expand the audience’s imagination for what the map can do and be.
