Since 2000, I have been more interested in exploring "Enlightenment" ideals in the context of "public" discourse (what some people call "print culture," although I find this a remarkably unhelpful term when dealing with the intersections of manuscript and print circulation). Originally I sought to explore this in terms of "Enlightenment science" generally and in North America more particularly. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003 reprinted in paperback, 2005.Ĭonsidering the development of the ideals of the modern systematic survey led me to explore the earlier ideals and practices of mapping in eighteenth-century Europe.

In particular, I have explored the intersections of systematic, geodetic-based surveys with both imperialism (especially with respect to British India) and state formation in the nineteenth-century (with respect especially to the USA). I did not forego this general subject as I developed my historical interests, which remain predicated upon my fascination with the practices, technologies, and institutional contexts of the surveying and mapping of property and landscapes.
CARTOGRAPHICA II PROFESSIONAL
I thought, as an undergraduate, that I would become a professional land surveyor. Histories of the Mapping of Properties and Landscapes, especially in State and Imperial Contexts My research, and writing, comprises several overlapping, interdisciplinary lines of inquiry. I am broadly interested in the histories of modern cartographies since the early seventeenth century, but with an emphasis on the long eighteenth century.
