Jack Swab, University of Kentucky, USA, gives the second talk in session 3B in the seminar.

Beyond “clerical cartography”: gender and the production of Sanborn fire insurance maps in the 1920s

An online conference focusing on mapping and closely linked professions such as surveying, exploration, navigation, hydrography, and printing, which have conventionally been associated with men: as makers, patrons, users, and interpreters.  The conference explores the place of women and the feminine in maps and mapping, with no chronological or geographical bounds, and a broad understanding of 'maps'.
