Hartford Ave. \nTheir talk\, “Processing Place: How Computers and Cartographers Redrew Our World\,” explores the how the computer technologies developed in the twentieth century drove changes in land management\, law and policy\, national defense\, and more. Taking a historical approach to digital mapping by comparing maps made with computers to those that came before\, the talk will invite us to reevaluate the relationships between maps\, technology\, and society. \nThere is a reception at 5:30 p.m. \nRegistration is required for this in-person and virtual event. \nThis will be the 35th annual presentation in the Maps & America: Arthur Holzheimer Lecture series\, organized by the American Geographical Society Library and supported by an endowment created by Arthur and Janet Holzheimer. \nThe lecture series was inaugurated by the noted cartographic historian Brian Harley in 1990. Over the years\, the series has featured many of the leading figures in the field of map history and provided a multifaceted survey of this rapidly developing field.

We only ask that you read the selected text. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, April 30. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, April 30\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the 51 campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.
