<b>Space, Place, and Geographic Thinking in the Humanities</b></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">April 28-29, 2016<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Geographic thinking and reasoning, empowered by the rapidly developing geospatial technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), global positioning systems (GPS), and more recently, collaborative online
mapping, spatial data exploration in social media, cyberGIS, spatiotemporal computing and more, has been embraced by a wide range of disciplines, becoming an integral part of the digital inquiry and quantitative research toolkit. This conference is aimed at
bringing humanists together with geospatial technologists and theorists, reviewing current status, achievements, lessons learned, unmet needs, challenges, potentials and perspectives of applying geographic analysis in the humanities.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">June 14-15, 2016<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondary Cities in the developing world are rapidly growing urban areas that are regional hubs for commerce, services, and governance in developing countries that often do not have adequate planning mechanisms for future development and
growth. This symposium will focus on the foremost data collection tools and technologies used to map urbanization in such cities. It is part of the Secondary Cities initiative, a global collaboration of universities and organizations supported by the Humanitarian
Information Unit of the Office of the Geographer of the State Department.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both events are free and open to the public. <o:p></o:p></p>
