We're always looking for more collaborators. If you're interested in getting involved, here are some ways to engage with BCM:

  • Host a themed convening at your institution or volunteer to do a lightning talk at our next gathering.
  • Share opportunities or questions on the Boston Civic Media listserv.

Organizations

  • Share volunteer and project opportunities on the Boston Civic Media listerv.
  • Volunteer to reflect on a collaboration with an academic partner via a lightning talk.
  • Get in touch with Project Director Eric Gordon <a href="mailto://[email protected]">[email protected]</a> to learn more about the Ethical Partnerships project.

Researchers

  • Share resources accessible to the broader community, such as the Boston Data Library.
  • Suggest thematic topics for quarterly convenings, such as “Impact and Assessment in Civic Media."
  • Contribute your best practices and provocations to the Ethical Partnerships project.

Students

Join the Boston Civic Media Listserv

Stay updated on events, opportunities, and syllabi via the Boston Civic Media listserv, all the group information found here. Please email Community Manager Becky Michelson here:

Who’s on the list?

Faculty, community partners and wider Boston-area civic media network are invited to this list. Please post opportunities and events from your respective institutions that support learning, producing, and discussing civic media!

What should I share?

This communication channel is a great place to share your research and projects, work/internship opportunities, lectures, workshops, events, paper submission deadlines, and similar activities. Since the listserv members are all based in Boston it might also be a great place to tap into local Boston knowledge. For example, you might use it to source a community organization who works with a particular population or prior research that has happened in a particular place.

Does what I post have to relate to Boston?

No. Many of our members work on civic media in global contexts and we think that has a lot of relevance for local projects. So please share research and projects that are both local and global.
