Trainings

Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science (SICSS)

The Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science (SICSS) were created to provide free training to the next generation of researchers at the intersection of social science and data science— and to incubate cutting-edge research across disciplinary boundaries. We provide state-of-the art training in a range of different areas in computational social science from ethics to text analysis and mass collaboration. These lectures assume a basic, working knowledge of the R language.

This specialization gives you easy access to some of the exciting new possibilities of how to study society and human behavior.

CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide

The guide is a project of the CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI), a new working group aimed at building connections and community among those at CUNY who are – or would like to be – applying digital technologies to research and pedagogy in the humanities.

Data Carpentry for Social Sciences

This workshop uses a tabular interview dataset from the SAFI Teaching Database and teaches data cleaning, management, analysis and visualization. There are no pre-requisites, and the materials assume no prior knowledge about the tools. We use a single dataset throughout the workshop to model the data management and analysis workflow that a researcher would use.

Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments

A peer-reviewed, curated collection of reusable and remixable resources for teaching and research. Organized by keyword, the annotated artifacts can be saved in collections for future reference or sharing.
