For the spatially-minded humanists among us: WhereCampSoCal 2013 at SDSU, July 12-13.

I received this announcement via a listerv, and thought that it might be of interest to our community:

WhereCampSoCal 2013

 If you are around this summer, consider attending WhereCampSoCal, July 12-13 (right after the Esri UC), at SDSU. From http://www.wherecampsocal.org :

WhereCampSoCal is a free, volunteer-run unconference on geography and geospatial technology. This year’s gathering will be held July 12th-13th, 2013, at San Diego State University's Department of Geography. It'll be a day and a half of discussion, networking, demos, and all manner of geospatial goodness. This is a fun, participant-driven event that attracts a dynamic group of folks from academia, industry, government agencies and NGOs. All are welcome and you can come one day or both.

CFP: Mapping Place: GIS and the Spatial Humanities

Call for lightning talks and poster presentations: Mapping Place: GIS and the Spatial Humanities Friday-Saturday, February 25-26, 2011
Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, UC Santa Barbara
Mapping Place will examine the intersection between Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the spatial turn in the humanities. Participants have been asked to describe their mapping projects in relation to humanities methodologies, research objects and/or concerns. In particular, the conference will examine the contributions that GIS make to our evolving ideas of place. We welcome proposals for 3-5 minute lightning talks and poster presentations. Please send a 500 word abstract and brief CV to mappingplaceconference@gmail.com by January 14, 2011.
