Jennifer Mapes This project maps stories from the Kent State Shootings Oral Histories Project onto a map of Kent in 1970. The MappingMay4.kent.edu website provides an interactive experience, or you can visit our maps in person at the Kent State Historical Society & Museum or May 4 Visitor Center.
Read more about the project in Cartographic Perspectives and Geohumanities.
I describe our project and research in the 2025 Jerry Lewis Lecture, ““It Was Time for Me to Go Home: Finding Shared Humanity in the May 4 Oral History Collection and Community Geography,” which is available to stream here.
