Mapping the Global: The Middlebury Atlas of Globalization

More than five years ago, three Middlebury College faculty embarked on an ambitious project: to create an atlas textbook for courses in global studies, international relations, and geography that offer a road map to the omnipresent strands of globalization. Our talk will cover the story behind the creation of the atlas and its companion website.  We will discuss the writing process, challenges of covering novel topics, and collaborating with 18 student researchers.
