For those around, next Wednesday at 16.00 at the Institute of Archaeology at @ox.ac.uk! The main aim of this research is to model geopolitical landscapes across time based on archaeological, historical and ethnographical data, with a specific focus on the pre-Columbian Indigenous world.

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.
#WomensHistoryMonth: The City of Women Map is a fascinating visualization of women’s history and urban transportation. Created by Molly Roy, Rebecca Solnit, and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, the map renames subway stops after notable women with links to that area, offering an entirely new way to view #NYC.
