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

Thu Jun 01 14:26:55 GMT 2023




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:

The application window is tight - and must be submitted by Tuesday 6^th  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.
