Teaching with Maps: New Haven Past and Present, featuring Yale Professor William Rankin, author of the newly released Radical Cartography: How Changing Our Maps Can Change the World

Studying maps imparts skills of literacy and spatial awareness. Maps also reveal the history of a place, while simultaneously showing what map makers and map users value most. Renowned historian and cartographer William Rankin will show us how to better read (and make) maps of New Haven. Teachers Steve Staysniak, of Metropolitan Business Academy, and Ian Dudley, of Cold Spring School, will share their experience using maps to spark student engagement with the city’s past. Group discussion will explore ways to empower students through maps!
