Atlas of the Invisible: Behind the Maps

As part of the educational materials created alongside Atlas of the Invisible, I was fortunate to sit down with Kit Rackley for a wide ranging conversation about some of the themes that emerged from the book.

We’ve broken down this conversation into a series of shorter videos, which can be watched in isolation and embedded in your own resources if you wish.

Kit and I also discussed the risks that maps of the climate crisis might be triggers for climate anxiety and the aspects of geography I would like to see more of in the classroom.
