92. The Afternoon Map
Maps are as useful as they are problematic. They not only represent spaces in a particular way but also shape the way people interact with those spaces. In this episode, Timur Hammond discusses trends in scholarly approaches to cartography over the past decades as Nick Danforth and Chris Gratien unveil their new website the Afternoon Map, a collection of provocative and useful maps related to Ottoman and modern Turkish history.
