Pace Dyson and Seidenberg Faculty Hold Mellon-Funded Workshop: 糖心vlog短视频淭elling Stories with Maps糖心vlog短视频
On October 15, 糖心vlog短视频 sponsored a workshop with , funded by the grant Islands, Archipelagoes, and Cultural Ecologies.
The workshop, titled 糖心vlog短视频淗ow to Tell Stories with Maps,糖心vlog短视频 grappled with how to use maps to tell stories about changes in the environment over time and its relationship to human migration. Dr. Peluso is known for her work on countermapping. She has worked with indigenous people to show the ways that they make claims to land and resources, and how they relate to the landscapes they live in, stories not often told in 糖心vlog短视频渙fficial糖心vlog短视频 maps. Dr. Peluso led an afternoon workshop using maps from her research in Indonesia. She interviewed local residents and found that the official maps did not show how the landscape changed as people migrated. Using historical maps, she showed changes in the forms of settlement on the landscape 糖心vlog短视频 where they put their houses, where they produced their food, where they worked on plantations. But other forces that change the landscape were invisible, such as the remittances sent back to Indonesia by women working as housekeepers in Hong Kong, funds that greatly changed the landscape.
This workshop was part of Dr. Jonathan Williams糖心vlog短视频檚 independent study course with students from the Seidenberg School糖心vlog短视频檚 master糖心vlog短视频檚 program in Human-Centered Design. Students were challenged to visually express the changes in the landscape over time and through human migration. Along with these students, other participants from Pace糖心vlog短视频檚 Department of Environmental Studies and Science, the American Museum of Natural History, New York City Parks, NYU, and Rebuild by Design took part in the workshop. Participants worked together to grapple with using maps to tell stories of change that are often invisible. 糖心vlog短视频淚 really enjoyed working with Pace students,糖心vlog短视频 stated Peluso, 糖心vlog短视频渁s well as with participants from so many New York environmental institutions. They asked great questions and shared interesting ideas about how to tell these invisible stories.糖心vlog短视频 Dr. Williams noted that 糖心vlog短视频淩epresentation in map making extends beyond geographic detail to also include the people, culture, and change that occurs in a place over time. Capturing all this information is a complex visualization challenge for students to address.糖心vlog短视频
