Susan Schulten

Susan Schulten is a historian who uses old maps to explore the past. Her 2018 book, A History of America in 100 Maps, demonstrates that whether they’re made for diplomacy or social reform, to encourage settlement or understand disease, maps reveal much about our history. Schulten teaches at the University of Denver and is working on a book about Richard Edes Harrison, the 20th-century artist whose unconventional maps introduced Americans to new understandings of world geography.
