Join us for a public workshop on media literacy in the historic and contemporary cartographic landscape.

Join LMEC Assistant Curator Ian Spangler and BPL Media & Journalism Research Specialist Erica Husting for a public workshop on media literacy in the historic and contemporary cartographic landscape. We’ll uncover inaccuracies, dive into issues of viral misinformation, and review methods of map interpretation as we head into the final week of our Bending Lines: Maps and Data from Distortion to Deception exhibition.

This workshop is the latest in our Thinking Spatially series. We invite questions and comments from our live audience.
