Alenka Poplin and her students from Iowa State University visited the Research Division Cartography during spring break. Together with the IMC students, they were introduced to the research field of emotion mapping and jointly conducted interviews in which they explored how Vienna is perceived by its inhabitants and where people find restorative places in the city.

In his guest lecture Kenneth Field shared his journey of making the book “Cartography.” On this occasion, he handed over a hard-cover copy of his book for our library. Thanks!
