Maps are as much about imagined worlds as they are about reality. Rarely are they just a means of getting from one place to another. Instead, they transform our thoughts and uncertainties into something we can see, understand, and control. Over six weeks, this course will look at some important aspects of maps to understand how maps function. By putting them into their specific social and cartographic contexts, the course will examine how they represent and convey ideas about the world we live in.
