We Will Make This Work

Thesis Research

I wrote my BA Thesis in Geographical Studies on how the University of Chicago has historically related to its peripheries, and how it has understood its own role as an actor in the built environment. The research process involved looking at a lot of maps. Here are some interesting things I've found in the archives; all were scanned in the Regenstein Library's Map Collection unless otherwise noted.
