Workshops
Critical cartographic literacy strategies: Bringing social justice into your teaching
Instructors: Neah Ingram-Monteiro, Western Washington University (Bellingham, Wash.); Georgia Brown, American Geographical Society Library, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Library; Jessica G. Benner, Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, Pa.)
Location: Library Data Hub – 1st floor Room 107
Are you ready to help your students learn to question the power dynamics within maps and mapping? We think it is important for map and GIS librarians to approach instruction with critical practices. In the context of cartographic literacy, we should foster critical consciousness with maps while approaching students with care in a participatory teaching environment.
This session will introduce the topic of critical pedagogy and how it applies to teaching with maps. Strategies and tips for incorporating critical prompts and practices will be presented. During the session, participants will have time to work with their own materials or materials from a sample workshop / lesson to practice the suggested strategies and tips.
Please bring a lesson plan, slide deck, worksheet, or other teaching material that you can workshop during this time or use one of our sample lesson plans. These critical teaching practices can be applied to a variety of topics and materials.
