<span style="font-size:small;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline">Dear crisis mapping and digital humanitarian communities,</span><br clear="all" style="font-size:small;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div style="font-size:small;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">I'm jumping back into some research I conducted a few years ago around "digital humanitarianism" and trying to get a sense of how the field has changed over the last 5-10 years. This new round of research involves collecting some information about the collective work you do. In this research I’m trying to understand the ways the field has evolved, and the impacts these changes are having around the world. I’d love to hear your thoughts in a survey that I estimate will take 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey is anonymous, will help both researchers and the digital humanitarian community, and is open to anyone over 18 years of age regardless of expertise domain.<br><br>The survey link is here: <a href="https://survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_cZIG6VaKJAdNwtD" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">https://survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_cZIG6VaKJAdNwtD</a><br><br>Of course, participation is completely voluntary and there will be no negative repercussions for turning down my request. If you have any questions before or after the survey, please contact me at <a href="mailto:ryan.burns1@ucalgary.ca">ryan.burns1@ucalgary.ca</a>.
