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!

Workshop: Digital Safety in the Age of Surveillance

  • Posted by Anna Corbett (she/they) on September 18, 2024 at 12:13 pm

    Please attend the Digital Fellows’ first workshop of the school year on Tuesday, September 24 from 4-5:30! 

    In response to this increasingly concerning moment of digital insecurity and academic repression, this in-person workshop will introduce you to resources and practices for keeping yourself and your data (research or personal) safe online. Participants will be introduced to encrypted alternatives to dominant proprietary digital platforms, learn how to choose a VPN, and discuss best practices for password management.
