What should cartographic curricula look like today? Our mapping tools, theoretical approaches and concepts, readings, assignments, and strategies for assessment are shifting. Also in flux are those who are recognized as doing mapping or teaching. Such changes call for reflection and updates. Here, we convene early-career educators who are devising new cartography curricula for new classes or are rethinking and revising existing curricula through critical cartographic and pedagogic lenses. Our panelists will share and discuss their experiences, insights, and new visions for cartographic curricula that reflect contemporary cartography and pedagogy in both theory and practice.
