I would be happy to field any questions about this position
(advertisement below); email me directly. Would be great to have
candidates at the intersection of GIS and human geography...
Excellent opportunities exist to participate in an initiative on the
study of social/spatial media and the digital humanities and to
partner with eager community organizations in this deindustrializing
city. BSU houses the only public-university accredited urban planning
program in the state, with a number of opportunities for on-campus
collaborations. Ball State is located on a beautiful campus, an hour
drive northeast of Indianapolis, 4 hours to Chicago and Detroit, 3
hours to Louisville, 2 hours to Cincinnati, 2 hours to Bloomington
(Indiana University)...
Best,
Matt
