WHC Publishes Podcast & Map Gallery on Using Maps in the Classroom

WHC Director Ruth Mostern and WHC Research Affiliate Kathy Hart conducted research on global maps including indigenous maps and indigenous knowledge in map making, and intended to share their research with a larger audience of K-12 teachers. In order to do so, they distilled their research into a 30 minute podcast hosted by WHC Associate Director, Molly Warsh, called ”How do Maps Work?” a guide for using maps in the classroom for teachers. Ruth and Kathy also selected a variety of thematic maps to illustrate the concepts which were then added to a Digital Exhibit that accompanies the project. Selected curricula and other resources were included in the podcast’s bibliography.
