7 years ago The content on this page definitely needs help. For the moment, add last names and roles on the project where people are mentioned. Otherwise, leave content the same and we need to revisit this page later on.

Aidan has found a few inconsistencies within this page.
"on get involved page, if Eric's role is listed, Becky's should be, too, and also, shouldn't last names be on there? Consider option to have name as link to email"
some of this copy seems a bit forced in places or repeating things. This copy also needs to have 3 bullets each or it will be uneven and strange, though I don't think this is a problem. Please just revise and confirm copy in google doc.
I posted content below for better context/understanding.
Get Involved with Boston Civic Media
We're always looking for more collaborators and community members. Below are some ways you can engage.
Educators Share a syllabus by emailing it to becky@elab.emerson.edu 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
Community 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 (eric@elab.emerson.edu) to learn more about the Ethical Partnerships project
Researchers Look out for joint Civic Media courses in 2018 Get connected to local community organizations looking for interns Showcase your work at our annual summer Boston Civic Media conference
Students 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
Join the Boston Civic Media Listserv Participate in the conversation, share your research, and be a part of Boston’s civic media community. (“click here to sign up” button)
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.
