Working Groups

     In 2016 SIG membership was surveyed on five activities that the SIG might pursue. These included (1) a committee to study and further peer review mechanisms; (2) developing a list of experts; and (3) curating a collection of GeoHumanities-related syllabi. The membership is also welcome to propose new working groups and some ideas that were proposed from the 2016 survey included: creating an online forum, facilitate networking and collaboration, data curation, webinars and training opportunities, website development, and promoting involvement of membership.
     If any of the working groups below resonate with you please contact the SIG conveners.  If you have an interest in proposing a new working group. You can post to SIG members via the email listserv, at geohumsig@lists.digitalhumanities.org (note that you must be a list subscriber to post, but it’s easy to subscribe here.
