Series: The Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr. Lectures in the History of Cartography; The University of Chicago Geography Research Papers
I joined the Press in 2008 from the copy department of Encyclopædia Britannica, and with trade experience from The Harvard Common Press. Before relocating to Chicago, I earned my BA in English from Allegheny College and my MA in Editorial Studies from the Editorial Institute at Boston University. I acquire new manuscripts in geography and cartography, ranging from the cultural and physical to the urban and historical. I also oversee two longstanding Press series, the Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr. Lectures in the History of Cartography and University of Chicago Geography Research Papers. Recent highlights from our list include Maps: Finding Our Place in the World, The Atlas of World Hunger, Mapping Latin America: A Cartographic Reader, and Disease Maps: Epidemics on the Ground.
