@bennorquist and I wanted maps to be part of the cover of Every Somewhere Sacred from the beginning. Maps can help tell us about the world. People use them to find their way. They are also used to define borders and what land a nation claims. They help us define places.

@CarolineKisiel and I wrote an article - "Property and Racial Exclusion in Illinois: Patterns and Practices from Colonial Slavery to Suburban Marginalization, 1720s-2010s" - just out in the newest issue of the Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society. Link...
Happy to see this article on patterns in over 300 teardowns in Naperville, Illinois is in print at the Journal of Urban Design. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…
