Amy Lecture Series
The 2012 Amy Lecture
Dr. Ward Kaiser
Where Do You Draw the Line?
Borders and Boundaries — on Maps
in Faith and in Everything Else that Matters
After a career with the National and World Councils of Churches, Ward Kaiser turned a sharp eye on how maps profoundly shape how we act in the world. His analysis and provocative views have resulted in being published, interviewed, or teaching from Bangkok to Boston and Berlin, and in Canada, Australia and the UK. He has led map seminars under the auspices of the Smithsonian, for the National Council for Geographic Education and for the NYC Teachers Federation. Previous books include Seeing through Maps: Many Ways to See the World. An ebook, How Maps Change Things: A Conversation about the Maps We Choose and the World We Want, will be released in March.
The Lectures will open up issues far beyond cartography — faith, justice, ecology and more — highlighting the essential unity of life.
