GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    Hey guys,

    Have any of you applied to the ARC pine tree fellowship? or know anything about it? I was trying to search who the distinguished visiting fellow will be next year and what their specialty is. Anyone happen to know?

    I’m thinking about submitting, but it’s midterms dooms week and I don’t want to waste my time if my research interests won’t align with the VF.

    fyi, info below incase you want to give it a go…

    <p class=”x_MsoNormal”></p>
    <p class=”x_MsoNormal”>As part of its effort to encourage student research, the Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) will be offering two ARC Pine Tree Student Fellowships in the Digital Humanities for the coming academic year 2017-2018. The Awards are valued at $4,000 each and are for one semester only (Fall or Spring).</p>

    Hi Bonnie!

    I asked other Digital Fellows and three of them have been ARC fellows. They said it’s a great fellowship. It involves weekly meetings on Thursdays and you have to go to the talks, but they’re great and often have international speakers. They said it’s helpful to move forward in your own research as there will be faculty reviewing your work and giving your comments. They have different research areas (inequality, multilingualism, immigration, urban studies and digital initiatives).

    I think it’s a good idea to apply for it if you satisfy the criteria!!!

    Best,

     

    Javier
