The History Division is sponsoring a hands-on preconference workshop exploring the use of computer-based digital humanities tools for media history research and analysis. Attendees will learn how to access digital data sources at scale and use computerized data analysis tools like sentiment analysis, topic analysis and data visualization. The workshop is intended for researchers who do not have access to large number grad students or research budgets and do not have advanced computer skills themselves. The workshop is hands-on. At the end, people should be able to conduct simple research projects using these tools and introduce these methods in their classes. The workshop will be held on August 7 from 1 PM to 5 PM. Cost is $10. Attendance is capped at 25. For more information contact Elliot King at eking@loyola.edu. Registration is available online.
