Sound Studies and Methods Working Group #GCDISound

The Sound Studies and Methods working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty, and staff who are interested in sharing theories, methods, and techniques related to doing qualitative and quantitative research, teaching, storytelling, and creating art with sounds and audio files, and finding resources and support from others to do so. The group is open to scholars from all disciplines to explore ways that we as researchers and makers can study and use sound in our scholarship and pedagogy.

The Sound Studies and Methods 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.

Members of the group are encouraged to share their projects, ideas, and questions concerning studies and uses of sounds and audio technologies through this group. This group was created after the success of the 2017-2018 GC Digital Initiatives Sound Series: a series of talks and workshops on topics related to sound analysis, comparison, theory, production, and recording — learn more about the past series at: cuny.is/gcdisound and on Twitter following the hashtag #GCDISound.

If you are analyzing, theorizing, producing, recording, or sharing sounds or audio as part of your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in learning more about different methods for sourcing or creating sounds for storytelling, podcasting, sensory ethnography, artistic exhibitions, or oral history projects, or managing, coding, or archiving copious audio files, we invite you to join the Sound Studies and Methods working group.

Geoprocessing Tools in QGIS Workshoo – Feb 10th 5-6pm

  • Posted by Rilquer Mascarenhas (he/him/his) on February 2, 2023 at 2:54 pm

    Hi everyone,

    Next Friday, Feb 10 5-6pm, we will be having our second workshop of the Spring semester, also a mapping workshop. We will go over a few geoprocessing tools in QGIS. Here is a brief description of the workshop and link to register:

    Title: Setting your spatial stage: geoprocessing tools with QGIS

    Description: This workshop is intended to build up on an initial knowledge on the software QGIS. We will cover how to perform operations with vector and raster files within the QGIS environment. Operations with vector will consist of clipping, masking, intersecting, merging and buffering points, lines and polygons, in order to extract additional information from the spatial data one has in hands. Operations with raster will include steps to extract numerical data from raster, and to perform mathematical operations amonger rasters, creating new spatial objects as a result. These skills are valuable for statistical analyses of spatial data, and can be used to answer specific questions in both social and natural sciences. This workshop will assume basic knowledge of the interface in the software QGIS (i.e., how to load and visualize vector and raster data in this software).
