À propos de cette écoute

This podcast is dedicated to those people making positive change in the world using GIS, mapping and cartography. Each guest is given 15 minutes to describe their dream map, and how it could impact the work they do.


Hello and welcome to 15 Minute maps, where I ask my guests to let their minds roam free and come up with a new idea for their dream map. The first known map of the world was created three thousand years ago, (of a flat disc-like world surrounded by water,) and today we are making maps of the furthest reaches of the known universe. In between lie a myriad of mapping possibilities. What if we could do away with resource limitations… think beyond the conventions of time, space and political boundaries? What new kinds of map could we dream up?

      Episode 1 - Jessie Pechmann: A different Kind of World Map
      Aug 4 2025

      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.
