We care about teaching cartography critically. 

This site is a digital collection of work we've built up so far, including papers, abstracts, posters, and critical cartography course material examples.

“Implementing ‘Critical Cartography’: a cross-university module proposal”, Poster for the International Cartographic Conference in Vancouver, Canada, 2025

Thesis

This work is based off Melissa Ernstberger's M.Sc. thesis "Critical 21st Century Cartography Higher Education", written at the TUM and supervised by Juliane Cron.

Course materials

A main output of the thesis was developing new course material for the M.Sc. Cartography curriculum. Our ‘Critical Cartography’ module description includes syllabi for Units 1, 2, and 3.
