Description
The joint availability of massive social and cultural data sets (including social media and digitized cultural artifacts) make possible fundamentally new paradigms for the study of social and cultural activities and histories. This course focuses on basic concepts and methods of data analysis (such as R); basic visualization techniques, use of visualization for explorative data analysis; elements of graphic design as they relate to visualization and project web site design; strategies for presenting projects online; how to write effective project descriptions for the web presentation; and promoting projects through social media and getting media coverage; We will also examine papers from both computational social science and data analysis/visualization projects by designers and artists.
