The Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) is pleased to announce that Shannon Curley (MA candidate in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies) will present the first of our 2022 Spring Semester Graduate Student Lectures.
Since September 2021 Shannon has been a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) intern through the Virtual Student Federal Service program with the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo’s Community Liaison Office. In this position, she is using her knowledge of geography/GIS and experience studying Bosnian language, history, and culture to transfer their City Guides into an accessible interactive online map. During her lecture she will present on this internship from a methodological lens, with select background on destinations in her web project. Shannon's talk will explain the VSFS internship program and her title/task specifically, describe for a general (non-GIS) audience how static projects and documents can be transferred into interactive web maps, and provide a walkthrough of the map she has created for this project.
