Objective: challenge our geographical world view
Outcomes:
Read the Big Think article, considering whether we should redraw the world map, to better reflect power and influence in the 21st century. Be ready to discuss the following points:
How familiar is this map to you - and why might it seem rather strange?
What has driven the ‘cartographic rectification’ of this map?
Why does the article say that “no world map is totally right”, and that the center of any map is “a matter of purely subjective choice”?
Which version of the world is more valid - and why?
PLENARY: does our cartographic view of the world matter to us as knowers? is there a right way to view the world? what might be the implications of disagreement ?
