Jennifer Mapes has lived in Los Angeles for the past four years, and got to know downtown by mapping and taking photos of its 750 historic buildings for the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council. She also mapped and photographed sites of interest downtown for the Department of Geography's Downtown Walking Tour. In addition to creating her own maps, she collected 70 historic maps of Los Angeles for a research project on early growth in the region. Now teaching "Los Angeles and the American Dream," to freshmen at USC, she is interested in how perceptions of cities shape their environmental and social realities.
