Maps are ubiquitous in today’s world. \u00a0Our geographical imaginations are both expanded and limited by this “communication of geographical knowledge” (maybe an attempt at a definition?). \u00a0But, what is a map? \u00a0Academic geographers in North America and Western Europe started to seriously question their taken-for-granted history roughly 25 years ago with the publication of papers, essays and books by Denis Wood and J. Brian Harley. \u00a0 Join us for an episode-long conversation with Denis Wood<\/a> as we explore Google Maps, critical cartography, the geo-body, Winnie the Pooh and Boylan Heights in Raleigh, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The episode first broadcasts on Radio Fabrik at 7:06 PM Salzburg, Austria time and 1:06 PM New York on the 4th Saturday of the month. \u00a0Check us out this Saturday, September 24th to hear our latest work. \u00a0As always, you can find the podcast posted later on the website at\u00a0https:\/\/www.geographicalimaginations.org\/episodes\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
