Workshop Materials

Review the workshop slides.

Tools + Methods Covered

  • Text Analysis allows you to measure different trends like word frequency and sentiment. Read about the full range of options here, where you can also access links to tutorials.
  • Data Visualization
  • Spatial Analyses unpacks meaning behind locations, and is largely addressed using GIS and remote sensing software. If you just need a map, consider the array of options that don’t require learning GIS software.
  • Digital Dissemination is about sharing your work online with a specific audience. Before you decide to create a Google Site, WordPress, StoryMap, or similar, ask yourself why and whether the target audience frequents that platform. Digital dissemination isn’t limited to creating websites. The most effective dissemination projects are centered on outreach, and the researcher connects with a specific type of audience. For example: using social media as an educational platform; writing a public facing article about your research (e.g. for JSTOR Daily); updating a Wikipedia article.
