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!

New Media Lab Meetings

  • Greetings!

    Please join us at one or more of the New Media Lab general meetings this semester! At each gathering, two graduate student researchers present their digital projects for discussion. The New Media Lab is one of the few places at the Graduate Center where interdisciplinary exchange occurs between students, faculty and staff. Some projects are well under way and others are in nascent stages but they always solicit interesting discussion on substantive, methodological or technical issues. Please mark your calendars with the dates below and I will send updates as specific presentations are scheduled.

    • Wednesday, February 21, 12:30 – 2:00 – Christina Katopodis presents.
    • Thursday, March 22, 12:30 – 2:00
    • Tuesday, April 17, 12:30 – 2:00
    • Wednesday, May 2, 12:30 – 2:00 – Anders Axel Wallace presents.

    And, for those of you who have worked at the Lab in the past and are still GC students, please note that you may apply for the $1,000 NML Digital Dissertation Award this semester. Contact Joe Kirchhof if you have questions, and if you are eligible, please apply.

    Regards,
