On Wednesday, April 24 at 4:00 pm in the IMRC, the Sandra Merrill and John G. Peters MHC Fellow Katie Ritchie, a history and secondary education double major, will give a talk on her project, “Mapping the Holocaust.” Ritchie, the Sandra Merrill Peters and John G. Peters Fellow, has used GIS to design and construct a map of sites important to the Holocaust that aims to make education more accessible and dynamic for high school and college-aged students. Her work also looks to bridge the gap between high school classrooms and academic studies of the Holocaust with the use of interactive maps and lesson plans.
This event is free and open to the public.
