Upcoming Talk at Brown

Jo Guldi "Can Participatory Maps Save the World?" 

November 7, 2013 • 5:30 p.m.

This talk will audit the experience of appropriate technology and map-making in particular back as far as 1968, when maps were first trumpeted as a way to overturn lines of class and culture, and up to 2013, when lightweight Indian startups promise to deliver infrastructure for cities like Bangalore and Kibera that lack the centralized bureaucracy to manage water and sanitation in traditional ways. This event is free and open to the public.

Rockefeller Library, Digital Scholarship Lab, 1st Floor.
