[Commlist] Inaugural PhD Summer School in Digital Methods at Bournemouth University

We are delighted to invite you to the inaugural BU PhD Summer School in 
Digital Methods, running 3rd-7^th  July at Bournemouth University (BU).

The Summer School will be covering several digital methods including: 
website scraping, content analysis, sentiment analysis, social network 
analysis, APIs. This is all designed for people who do not code. The 
topic of work is open, but it is intended for people working broadly 
across the humanities and social sciences. The goal over the week is to 
learn new methods and how to manage data and to work on a publication - 
either individually or in a small team. You can collaborate with a BU 
academic on this, subject to timing and availability. The course will be 
led by Prof Scott Wright, with support from staff from across BU. The 
plenary lecture will be delivered by Professor Mike Thelwall of 
Sheffield University. After the week, we will have a follow up lecture 
by Professor Rachel Gibson of Manchester University. Other speakers will 
include Tim Lloyd of Helpful Digital talking about industrial 
collaboration and Marc Smith of NodeXL.

The course will be open to both PhD students and early career 
researchers. Places are strictly limited due to lab size and we will 
select based on answers to the application as well as an overall 
consideration to ensure a balance amongst participants (e.g., 
internal/external, gender, stage of study etc)

For more information, including a full schedule and application form 
please use this website:

 June and successful applicants will be told by Friday 9^th  June.

Selected applicants will be asked to pay a £100 deposit; this will be 
released on completion of the summer school. Attendance is free and 
catering will be provided.

For external applicants we will aim to offer some small bursaries to 
part cover costs.
