Building a Cultural Atlas with Undergraduate Students
Presenter: Ashley Nepp, GIS Instructor and Lab Supervisor, Ma
calester College
Host: Diana Sinton
What makes a place spe cial? What does a place feel like? Sound like? Smell like? These are the ki nds of questions examined in a cultural atlas. Following in the example of “Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas” by Rebecca Solnit, and “Portlandness : A Cultural Atlas” by David Banis and Hunter Shobe, 18 students in Macales ter Geography's spring 2019 Cultural Atlas Production course created “Curio us City: In, Out, Above, Beyond Saint Paul” a cultural atlas of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Each student created a two-page spread that “tells a story with data” on a topic of their choosing. These stories explore different aspect s of the city from a fossil hunting field guide, to a visualization of the book “The Latehomecomer” a Hmong family’s migration story, to the changing role of local libraries, and many more. To create these stories, students s pent the semester conducting interviews, meeting with community members, ex ploring archives, and conducting field work around the city. For 13 weeks t he class worked as a team to create a print atlas from start to finish; det ermine topics, gather data, designing their spreads and the atlas artwork, organizing the atlas, writing an introduction, and finally working through the publishing process. This presentation will offer reflections on success es, failures and lessons learned during this process!
