Hi everyone! My name is Jason and I’m a senior Sociology & Anthropology major at Carleton College, also the co-author of this website for the spring 2023 deeping mapping class. One of my favorite things to do during my childhood was to look at the maps on the walls of my grandma’s home. That was the first time I got a sense of what the world looks like, and where
Firstly, I would like to apologize for the poor quality of the photos. Due to my schedule, I could not get to my area before sundown. Some photos do have this grainy, hyperreal effect to them. Due to the lighting in some places, I may not have been as observant as I would have been during the day. This is not ideal of course, but I was able to find
Date: 04/10/2022 Time: Afternoon 4pm-6pm Weather: 68°F, Warm and Sunny Spring has come at quite an unexpected speed. I still remember driving in a snow storm last Friday, but now it’s warm and sunny. The entire neighborhood is bathed in sunlight, and one can only see sporadic snow piles in the shadow area. Of course, traces of the long winter are still visible in the neighborhood, though assuming a more
Hello! I’m a math major and a digital arts and humanities minor here at Carleton, and I’m one of the authors from the Spring 2023 version of the deep mapping course. I’m interested in learning how to use technical skills I have to support the work of people who are already working on important or interesting problems. I also love maps! I took a class on medieval maps last winter
I began my walk at the corner of 4th Street and Winona street, by Central Park, the bright sunny morning of April 11th. I had just left the Weitz, backpack in tow, and was looking forward to spending some time outside. I actually chose this route because I knew it was close to the Weitz. I’ve probably spent more time in that building than any other at Carleton, besides my
For this project, I chose to walk the four block chunk of East Northfield from 5th Street stretching down to 9th Street, constrained on the sides by College Street to the West and Winona Street to the East. Shortly after 11 am, post-class, I walked down to the start of my area at the corner of 5th and College. It was a lovely morning, sunny and warm, not yet sweat-inducing.
On the 9th of April, Easter Sunday, I set out to walk the roughly four blocks of the Fareway neighborhood, starting at the beginning of the park outside of Northfield Memorial Pool. At the start of the walk, the air smelled of gasoline. A few children played basketball as I took out my notebook. On the opposite side of the road, a few other children skateboarded. Besides the noise of
I’m Sophia, a senior English major and Medieval & Renaissance Studies Minor, and currently, student of the spring 2023 Deep Mapping class. I have a funny relationship with place, since I moved around a decent amount growing up. My family currently lives in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada (a place which is unfamiliar to most of my peers at Carleton, as I have discovered). Believe it or not, Kitchener is actually slightly
Hello, my name is Andra Brown. I am currently a freshman who is a potential History, Asian Studies, or Psychology major. I’ve always found maps interesting, and I also really like learning about local history, whether it be in Northfield or my hometown. In my opinion, history is not just what was deemed worthy to put in the textbooks. Some fun facts about me are that I’m left-handed, I speak
Hello everyone! I will be one of the page authors this term. I am a geology major and history minor in my junior year at Carleton. Outside of my studies, I am an avid reader, backpacker, cross country skier, and tree-enthusiast. In this class, history 338, I am particularly interested in exploring how we as humans interact with and assign significance to place. In addition, I look forward to seeing
