How do maps lie? Do maps describe or create spaces and places? How does the design of a map impact its message? And how does all of this matter for environmental social movements? This course is a practice-based investigation of questions such as these, through bringing the insights of critical cartography to bear on environmental social movements. Students will come out of the course with a map portfolio, improved skills in cartography, and a deeper sense of how maps have been used to not only describe but also influence environmental issues. Prerequisite: ENV 150 or GEO 150. (E)
