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!

  • Present your work at GCDI Conversations in Digital Scholarship on May 13

    Hello all,

    We are excited to share that the GC Digital Fellows are hosting an inaugural event on Tuesday, May 13th called GCDI Conversations in Digital Scholarship. The event will feature six facilitated round table conversations designed to build cross-disciplinary dialogue about the many ways that scholarship and research are changing in response to emerging technologies. Registration to participate is on a first-come-first-served basis. Participants will submit a 250 to 500 word blog post by April 29th, and the May 13th event will feature 2-hour facilitated roundtable conversations based on those posts.

    Topics this year include:

    • methods of performing qualitative research with AI,
    • building and using digital archives,
    • working with government data,
    • creating digital projects in languages other than English,
    • designing educational games,
    • and building open educational resources with Manifold.

    Please encourage students, faculty, or staff in your programs, centers, and units to review the calls for participation and to consider joining us. Anyone with a GC affiliation is invited to participate. We are eager to hear more about how research at the GC is responding to technological shifts. We’re particularly eager to hear critical perspectives, as well as to share projects that push the boundaries of traditional disciplinary methods.

    So much exciting work is happening across the Digital GC, and we’re eager to hear more about what our community is doing and to use this opportunity to build networks of discussion and collaboration.

    To read the full call for participation and to register for the event, see the blog post at https://gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2025/03/07/gcdi-conversations/.
