Doug Specht, a cultural geographer, joins Steven to discuss the power and limitations of maps in representing complex human experiences, particularly in times of conflict. He highlights the decisions that cartographers make about what to include and what to leave out, and how these choices can shape our understanding of a place or situation. Doug emphasizes the importance of recognizing that maps are not neutral or objective, but rather laden with power and subjectivity. He also explores the role of technology in mapping and the need for readers to critically engage with maps and understand their purpose.
