About this Event

About the Event

CARGC postdoctoral fellow Ennuri Jo will introduce the Media Mapper tool and its flagship project, Aqueous Earth Catalog, which maps bodies of water around the world that are significantly referenced in or featured in films and video texts. Jo will be joined by Liang Wu (Postdoctoral Fellow, Cornell University) and Weilin Zhu (Ph.D. Student, University of Virginia), who will each present how they use the Media Mapper to support their own research in global media studies.

Media Mappers on the Globe is the result of a larger workshop series. Media maps created by other participants of the workshop will be shared online prior to the event on the Media Mapper website (mediamapper.app).

Media Mapper is an open-source application that anyone can use and modify. Come learn about and contribute to these media maps and find out how you might create your own.
