I am offer a Workshop on Online Engagement for Minority Scholars, namely thinking of our geographer of color, LGBTQ geographers, disabled geographers, women and gender non-conforming geographers, first-generation geographers, and immigrant geographers, as well as all other folks who identify as such. Because of a timing issue, I will only be able to offer one session on Tues from 2.40pm to 4.20pm.

The workshop will cover the following:

• Why have a public online research presence
• 
  
• The amount of labor involved in a launch
• The range of options involved
• Academic publication websites/networks
• Your own institutional digital repository
  
• Personal website
  
• Actually creating/refining an online digital presence
• Google Scholar
• Academia.edu
• Your own institutional digital repository
  
• ORCID
• Visualize.me
• The ethics/data sharing/copyright issues/pleasures involved with each platform
  

In order to gauge how many folks plan to come to the workshop, I made a signup sheet here. If this actually turns into something of interest to our geography community, I (and others I will woo, you know you are out there) will offer future workshops so please don't feel that this year is the only option!
