Racial Disparities In Access To Community Water Supply Service In Wake County, North Carolina, Jacqueline Macdonald Gibson, Nicholas Defelice, Daniel Sebastian, Hannah Leker

Yet, mapping rather than map-making is a newly created concept as an alternative way of thinking about this relationship.

Mapping may allow developing an embodied and critical understanding of place, which is continuously …
