Digital Method of the Month: Network Analysis
Hybrid
Have you seen a presentation on digital research methods and wondered if they are applicable to your work? Are you interested in learning new digital skills but unsure where to start?
This is the right place for you!
The digital method of the month meeting is a safe space to freely discuss the practicalities of learning and implementing a new digital skill in your research.
Each month we select a method, and we have an honest and practical discussion on what it takes to learn and master it. How much time will it take to get the basics? What are the software options available? What are the most common pitfalls? Where can you find more info on the subject?
The method of this month is Network Analysis. Networks refer to sets of elements and the relationships between them. Network analysis and visualisation use abstraction to represent reality as “dots” and “lines”. By abstracting the messy bundle of qualities typical of empirical reality, this reduction helps reveal patterns and structures in their internal relation.
This is a beginner level event, and no previous knowledge of the method is required.
Those who have registered to take part will receive an email with full details on how to get ready for this event.
This Digital Method of the Month will be taught by Brian Wong.
