Digital Methods Summer School: Researchers apply before Friday 17 May
From 1 to 5 July 2024 on Talbot Campus, Bournemouth University will host a free one-week intensive summer school for postgraduate research students and early career researchers across institutions.
The summer school will cover digital media research from data collection through to different analytical approaches and will include sessions on research ethics and industrial collaborations. Researchers will work on a common project throughout with the goal of generating a joint publication. Previous iterations of this course have led to publications in internationally recognised journals.
Researchers will learn how to collect website and social media data using both screen-scraping techniques and through APIs. Once collected, researchers will learn how to clean and then analyse the data using two methods: content analysis and social network analysis. Finally, the course will introduce students to data visualisation techniques.
Places are limited to ensure the overall quality of the learning experience.
