The Newberry Library’s Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of
Cartography is pleased to announce the 17th Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr.,
Lectures in the History of Cartography. “Mapping the Transition from
Colony to Nation” will feature eight scholars, who will examine how
peoples and states around the world emerging from colonial status used
maps to define, defend, and administer their national territories, to
develop their national identities, and to establish their place in the
community of nations. Scholars in all fields, educators, and members of
the general public are cordially invited to attend.
The lectures series, beginning on Thursday evening, November 4, 2010,
and running through Saturday morning, November 6 will feature Raymond
Craib (History, Cornell University), Magali Carrera (Art History,
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth), Jordana Dym (History, Skidmore
College), Lina del Castillo (History, Iowa State University), Tom
Bassett (Geography, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Jamie
McGowan (Geography, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Sumathi
Ramaswamy (History, Duke University), and Karen Culcasi (Geography, West
Virginia University). A full program schedule is available on The
Newberry Library’s website at
