Some cultural geographies are better represented on maps than others. This series on cultural cartographies explores the many ways that culture may be represented and reproduced on maps, whilst also being implicit in the many ways that maps are used. The series brings together academics, artists and others to explore the hidden dimensions of cartography. Mike Duggan opens the series with a discussion of everyday mapping practices in the digital age. He will discuss his recent ethnography of everyday mapping practices and show how it is important to pay attention to both cultural practices and technology if we are to understand how maps are used in everyday life. Participants are encouraged to bring along maps and share their experiences of how they use maps and mapping technologies. Speakers Mike Duggan is interested in the complex intersections that unfold between digital technologies and cultural practices in everyday life. He is a visiting lecturer in Digital Culture in the Department of Digital Humanities at Kings College London, and teaches about digital foundations, theories of new media and big data, culture and society. Mike's research interests include everyday mapping practices, digital mapping technologies, neuro-mapping practices and digital ethnography.
