 *Seeing Text, Reading Maps*

 Tom Conley, Abbott Lawrence Lowell Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies and of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University

 Specializing in the relations of space and writing in literature, cartography, and cinema, Professor Conley will discuss his lifelong fascination with literary maps. Conley’s most recent essay on the subject appears in the newly published *Literature and Cartography : Theories, Histories, Genres*, ed. By Anders Engberg-Pedersen (Cambridge: The MIT Press, 2017).
