Workshops and Events
GIS for Research II: Essential Skills for GIS Data Management and Visualization (Workshop)
Register: https://library.osu.edu/researchcommons/event/gis-essential-skills-sp18/
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly recognized by researchers across a wide range of disciplines for their use in answering questions, solving problems, and making decisions. Despite the powerful tools and potential benefits associated with GIS, researchers often perceive barriers to entry when it comes to learning new skills in this area, similar to challenges encountered when trying to learn any new software or technology. The aim of this workshop is to lower those barriers for researchers new to GIS by focusing on some of the most common tasks and essential skills for getting started with GIS data management and visualization. In this workshop, participants will:
• Gain hands-on experience using ArcGIS Desktop, the industry-leading GIS software
• Learn best practices for describing, preparing, organizing, and managing their GIS data
• Perform fundamental GIS tasks including acquiring data, projecting data, joining data, and creating map layouts for visualization
Who: OSU faculty, staff, and students from all disciplines
When: Friday, February 16, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Where: Research Commons, 3rd floor of 18th Avenue Library
This workshop will be repeated on March 8, 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. If you would prefer to register for the March 8 workshop, please use this link: https://library.osu.edu/researchcommons/event/gis-essential-skills2-sp18/

Crystal Good is a member of the Affrilachian Poets, a group of writers and artists whose creations and existence combat the erasure of African American identity in the Appalachian region, an Irene McKinney Scholar, and author of Valley Girl. She is the founder and CEO of Mixxed Media, a marketing and consulting firm that teaches media and engagement strategies to mission-driven organizations. She also works as an advocate for environment, education, and economic actions like industrial hemp, and she is creating a digital commons for voters to express their concerns through her self-made position of Social Media Senator for West Virginia. Crystal Good has spoken and read her poetry in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, at the West Virginia section of the Women’s March on Washington, for the 2013 TEDx conference in Lewisburg, West Virginia, for the LouderARTS Project, for the Appalachian Mountain Advocates, and for students and scholars at several universities and colleges.
Public Performance & Talk
Friday, February 16
6:00 – 7:30pm
11th floor, 305 Thompson Library
How do artists and writers affectively and critically engage diverse audiences through creative innovation? How might we approach art and performance’s relationship with activism in our ever-digital world? How do new and emerging media forms change or enhance our relationship with artistic representations and activism? Crystal Good’s performance will include a poetry reading that explores the intersections of environmental, economic, gender, language, and racial justice, especially as they exist in the Appalachian region. Because her work is invested in the interconnections of activism, creative writing, performance, and digital media, the performance will feature a unique assemblage that explores how writing and performance activism might arise in both the digital and physical world. Following the reading, Good will host a dialogue where audience members will have an opportunity to engage the poet on her creative approaches and experiences.
Workshop with Crystal Good
Saturday, February 17
Center for Folklore Studies
12:00pm – 3:00pm
How do we make our work meaningful to diverse audiences beyond the university? How can we use artistic representations and communications to engage communities in complex ways? During this workshop, students will bring in a piece of work (anything from a budding idea to a work-in-progress) for which they would like to consider creative ways to make it speak to multiple audiences within and beyond the university. The goal of the workshop is to walk students through the process of making their work more accessible, artistic, engaged, critical, meaningful, and impactful.
Workshop participants are asked to bring the following:
RSVP to craycraft.31@osu.edu by Wednesday, February 14th if you would like to attend the workshop.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Folklore Studies; Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; Environmental Humanities; the Department of African American and African Studies; The Diveristy & Identity Studies Collective at OSU (DISCO); Department of Dance; the Appalachian Studies Network@OSU; and the English Graduate Organization (EGO).
Please join us on February 14 from 10:30am – 12:30pm to discuss the importance of heart health for women. During this lunch and learn, you will gain knowledge on how to create healthy lunches and snacks for you and your family, exercise in the office, and how you can optimize your heart health and over all well-being. We hope to see you there for this life changing discussion.
