[Commlist] Cambridge Social Data School 9-13 January 2023 (Applications Open)

Cambridge Social Data School 9-13 January 2023 (Applications Open)

The Cambridge Social Data School is an application only online intensive 
teaching programme structured around the life-cycle of a digital 
research project, covering principles of research design, data 
collection, cleaning and preparation, methods of analysis and 
visualisation, and data management and preservation practices. The 
school welcomes applications from all backgrounds, including 
journalists, NGOs, activists, trade unionists and members of civil 
society organisations.

At the Social Data School, we will focus on the image as a place of 
inquiry for investigations. We will extract data from social networks, 
and multiple video and photographic sources, and learn how computer 
vision and automation can help in the investigation of public interest 
stories and projects. In short, we will develop a critical toolkit for 
interrogating the image-based cultures of the digital age.

Modules will cover the following content:

  * Methodology for Digital Investigations
  * Video and Image Data Analysis
  * Geolocation and Open Source Investigations
  * Introduction to Critical AI
  * Introduction to Social Media data mining, analysis and visualisation
  * Data Spatialisation using Python and Blender

This school will be held online: 9–13 January 2023. Data School live 
sessions are timetabled daily between 11am–4pm (GMT).
