Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô

Spring at Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô-Geography means Mapathon Time! The Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô-Geography Mapathon successfully launched its 2nd annual Mapathon campaign centered on cartographies of hope. For organizer Prof. Isaac Rivera, cartographies of hope are doorways for rehearsing a liberatory world in the here and now. Undergraduate and graduate students from across Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô-Boulder and the Front Range participated, submitting maps across several themes including Life Affirming Geographies; Geographies of Care and Repair; and Geographies of Sustainability and Environmental Justice. The Mapathon Committee aspires to continue on with the Mapathon in the coming years, uniting Geography across Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô to elevate the life affirming ways in which Geographers map our world.Ìý
