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.

  • Mapping User Group Meetings – Fall 2022

    Posted by Rilquer Mascarenhas (he/him/his) on September 27, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    Hi, everyone.

     

    The Mapping User Group will resume our biweekly meetings by next week. Our first meeting will be on Thursday Oct 6th, from 4-5pm. Here is the link for our sign-up form: https://forms.gle/Q1rcXrDqpnEbEBPy5

     

    We would appreciate if everyone could sign up on that list, so we can keep track of how many people are expected to be present in the meetings for each data, and their respective programs.Additionally, you can let us know through this form if there is any specific dataset you would like to be working on in some of the meetings (either your own data you would need help with or a third party data you think would be interesting to create a map for). We have our tentative schedule for this semester below, with some topics lined up for each meeting, but these are totally open to change based on the demand of every person attending the meetings.

     

    Oct 6th – Introductions and discussions on the scientific and social use of maps

    Oct 20th – What do we need for mapping? Preparing your data

    Nov 3rd – Discussion on softwares

    Nov 17th – Hands-on with QGIS I

    Dec 1st – Hands-on with QGIS II

    Dec 15th – Okay, you made a map. What next?

     

    Hope to see you there!
