FOS: Fwd: FW: MSU Digital Humanities Workshops, Spring 2016

[Suzanne Evans Wagner]

Friends of Sociolinguistics,

These workshops look great for students and faculty who are engaged in 
analysis of language variation and change, especially (but definitely not 
only) those of you working with text corpora. I can also highly recommend 
the library staff running the workshops: I've been to sessions led by them 
before, and they're all excellent. 

Grad students: these are skills that are in demand both inside and outside 
of academia. 

Note that the first workshop is THIS Wednesday, Jan 20th. 

All best,
Suzanne

Dear colleagues,

 

We are delighted to present three Digital Humanities workshops during 
Spring 2016. In addition to the three workshops detailed below, our events 
calendar at digitalhumanities.msu.edu/events includes workshops and 
activities put on by other units on campus that may be of interest to the 
MSU Digital Humanities community.

 

Please remember that ALL - students, staff, faculty, etc - are welcome to 
attend these workshops. We would appreciate it if you would pass along this 
information to interested students and colleagues. A pdf flyer is attached 
that you are encouraged to post wherever it may be useful.

   - *January 20, 3:00-5:00, Github and Git for Humanists*


   - REAL Instruction Classroom, 3W, Main Library
      - Taught by: Thomas Padilla and Megan Kudzia
      - Curious about Github and Git? Want to learn how to use them to 
      manage data, code, digital projects, and collaborative document editing? 
      During this workshop we will provide a low barrier introduction to Github 
      and Git that will show you their potential value and offer some hands on 
      experimentation.
      - Registration: http://classes.lib.msu.edu/view_class.php?class_id=153
   

   - *February 10, 3:00-5:00, Interactive Data Visualization with R*


   - REAL Instruction Classroom, 3W, Main Library
      - Taught by: Thomas Padilla
      - Are you interested in data visualization? Are you interested in 
      making your data visualizations interactive and shareable on the web? If 
      the answer to both is yes, this is the workshop for you. During the 
      workshop you will be introduced to the R programming language and use it to 
      make web based interactive data visualizations.
      - Registration: http://classes.lib.msu.edu/view_class.php?class_id=151
   

   - *March 23, 3:00-5:00, Text Analysis with Natural Language Toolkit*


   - LEADR, Room 112, Old Horticulture
      - Taught by: Devin Higgins and Kristen Mapes
      - This workshop will provide an introduction to using Python 
      programming and the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) to prepare and analyze 
      text. The workshop will introduce Python data types, and provide an 
      overview of NLTK text analysis tools. No prior programming experience 
      required.
      - Registration: http://classes.lib.msu.edu/view_class.php?class_id=111
   
Please get in touch with me if you have any questions. We look forward to 
seeing you at the workshops!

 

Thanks,

Kristen
