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!

    Dear Matthew Gold,

    I am reaching out to you to see if you could forward the following
    opportunity to students affiliated with the Digital Humanities Lab at the
    Grad Center. ​

    “I am looking for a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) who can assist me in
    a project “Geography of resistance: The Spatial Politics of Communist
    Public Meetings in the Dutch East Indies, 1920-1926.” You will assist me in
    producing a set of GIS maps using colonial census data and data of
    communist public meetings conducted in 1920-1926. This job will require you
    to stitch a set of digital maps together, using Adobe Suite, Inkscape, or a
    similar software package. You will also have expertise in using QGIS,
    including but not limited to georeferencing as well as producing new
    shapefiles and a set of publication-quality GIS maps. An understanding of
    choropleth maps is also required. Compensation is $20/hour. You will work
    for about 10 hours/week for 5-10 weeks in the summer months of July-August
    2018. Ownership of laptop/computer and QGIS software is preferable. Most
    work will be done at home. (This arrangement is subject to change according
    to the need of the project). If you are interested in the position, please
    email me: [email protected].”

    ​Thanks so much for your help!

    Best wishes,
    Anne​
