| Studios: Mapping Mondays |
Mondays, beginning February 26, 2024. The response to the RSD12 (2023) call for maps and exhibits exceeded our capacity to programme sessions during the symposium, and contributors agreed to present maps in this series of studios presenting about four maps each. The series will consists of at least ten gatherings. Details on presenters and exhibits will be posted here for each studio as commitments are firmed up.
If you are a master mapper or mapping-curious, these talks are an opportunity to discuss maps and related exhibits with the researchers. |

| RSD12-Washington keynote Abby Covert |
Like digital tow trucks, diagrams have been helping people feeling stuck for thousands of years. But why? Because diagrams give us superpowers. The ability to render our ideas visually helps us move through some pretty gnarly human situations. In this keynote Abby Covert, an author and information architect, takes us on a tour of five of the superpowers that make diagrams the helpful superhero of many sensemaking stories.
Abby Covert is an information architect, writer and community organizer with two decades of experience helping people make sense of messes. Abby has written two popular books, How to Make Sense of Any Mess and Stuck? Diagrams Help. She currently spends her time making things that help you to make the unclear clear, many of which she makes available for free on her website, www.abbycovert.com or at accessible price points in her popular Etsy shop, AbbytheIA. In 2022, she started The Sensemakers Club where she brings together sensemakers from different walks of life to learn from one another. Abby currently lives and writes from Melbourne, Florida, where her most important job title is “Mom.” |
