Prof Lopes says representation through an accurate map matter, and asks why is it that Google maps still uses the outdated the Mercator map? The distance between the Eastern and Western coast of Africa is as vast as Russia but this is not on maps.#CorrectTheMap #SizeMatters
Prof Lopes is unpacking stereotypical perceptions, and how African are associated with conflict, even when other parts of the world experience it to a greater degree. He says these projections are not accurate. "Made up." #CorrectTheMap #SizeMatters
Pertinent question: Why is @googlemaps still using the #MercatorProjection? Thank you Prof Lopes. #CorrectTheMap
