The David Rumsey Map Center will host a three-day Conference on
cartographic scholarship called the Barry Lawrence Ruderman Conference
on Cartography on October 19, 20, and 21, 2017. Events will begin the
evening of October 19. The keynote speaker will be Parag Khanna, author
and noted spatial thinker. Speakers from around the world will discuss
the latest in the history of cartography and related fields, while
several advanced Stanford students will also have a chance to share
their exciting new research and show how they use maps as part of their
scholarship. This is the first ever conference of its kind to be held
at the David Rumsey Map Center.
Other speakers include Chet van Duzer, Katherine Parker, Madalina Veres,
Benjamin Sacks, Mirela Altic, Ted Boyle, Junia Furtado and Joel
Radunzel. Our Stanford contingent of speakers include Daniel Tuzzeo,
Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein, Peter Hick, Steven Press and Lauren
Killingsworth. The conference talks are organized to explore cartography
starting in the tenth century and to bring us all the way to the turn of
the twentieth century.
