It combines cutting-edge research with innovative interactive mapping techniques, designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in American history or a love of maps. It also includes the popular and award-winning digital humanities project, Mapping Inequality. This presentation will be followed by a related hands-on skills learning workshop.
