The latest in a series of posts showcasing sessions which are included in the programme for the GA Conference in April 2022.
Following the Public Lecture, this session will go through some of the educational resources that were produced to go along with the book 'Atlas of the Invisible', which was published in 2021.
These were created by Paul Turner, Catherine Owen and Kit Marie Rackley, in association with James Cheshire.
You can take a look at these ahead of time, but there are more to come, and Paul and Kit will talk through the work that they did to
Atlas of the Invisible is packed with visualisations that more than meet the criteria to explore data presentation in unfamiliar ways. Educators with high-school teaching experience were commissioned to develop resources to accompany the book to encourage teachers and students to go beyond just practising map skills and look deeper into the stories the maps tell, and the motivations and power behind them.
This workshop will use a sample of those resources to explore the ‘power of maps’.
