Elizabeth Baigent, University of Oxford, gives the first talk in the second session of the seminar.

‘Octavia always enjoyed a map’: Octavia Hill, maps, and Victorian social reform

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'.
