[Commlist] Methods School in Barcelona: Introduction to R

ACOP (Association for Communication in Politics) Methods School – 2nd Ed.
Introduction to R for political communication researchers
Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, 13-16 November 2019

Description:
The Association for Communication in Politics (ACOP), with the 
collaboration of the Department of Communication at the Universitat 
Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, dedicates the second edition of its Methods 
School to a course about the R statistical package, of increasing use 
among social science researchers.

The course is organized around six workshops of three hours each, taught 
in three consecutive days, preceded by an inaugural lecture. The 
workshops are addressed to masters’ and PhD students, university 
researchers and political marketing consultants.

The course offers a unique chance to get introduced to the R statistical 
package without any previous requirements, illustrating the 
possibilities of R with examples taken from political communication 
research (e.g. regression analysis with data from opinion polls, 
sentiment analysis on Twitter, etc.)

The workshops will be taught in Spanish, though instructors are fluent 
in English and can respond to queries in that language.
