About this listen

For the first ever episode of 15 Minute Maps I am Joined by Jessie Pechmann, storied humanitarian and Geospatial expert. She is currently the Humanitarian GIS and Data protection lead with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOTOSM), and has previously worked at the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), IMPACT initiatives, and for the state of Utah. But many of you may know her as the convener of the Information Management Working Group (IMWG) focussing on GIS.

We discuss how humanitarian response can be restricted due to physical and human boundaries that superimpose traditional political boundaries. Jessie suggests a different kind of world map, one that takes spheres of influence, culture, linguistic differences, and physical obstacles into account when drawing up lines on a map.
