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!

  • PUBLIC EVENT, Maps in Motion: American Public Map Making of the Progressive Era

    Posted by Olivia Ildefonso (she/her) on March 4, 2019 at 10:55 pm

    *forwarding this event*

    The Progressive Era (1890-1920) was a time when Americans of a wide range of classes, races, ethnicities, and genders worked towards social and political reform. As American women, Black Americans, and Native Americans began to gain mobility—physically, socially, politically—they used cartography to better their worlds by constructing their own geographic knowledge and sharing it to meet the needs of their communities. Christina Dando, author of Women and Cartography in the Progressive Era, will explore the ways in which these efforts are reflected in geography and mapping of the time.

    FIRST COME, FIRST SEATED

    For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form one hour before the program.
