Kenneth Field is a ‘cartonerd’ with a Bachelors degree in cartography and PhD in GIS. A former academic who grew tired of admin, he ditched his 20 year career, moved to the US, and talks and writes about cartography, teaches, and makes maps at Esri. He has presented and published an awful lot. He blogs, tweets, after 8 years as Chair is now Vice-Chair of the ICA Map Design Commission, and did a 9 year stint as Editor of The Cartographic Journal. He’s won awards for maps, teaching, kitchen tile designs and his book, Cartography. He recently taught a MOOC to over 100,000 people on Cartography. He is co-founder of longitude.space and mappery.org. He snowboards, plays drums, and is a long-suffering supporter of his home-town football/soccer team Nottingham Forest.
Ken and I talk all things maps in this week’s episode–why he loves them; his favorites; his least favorites; and how we should think about them.
