CDH Methods | Introduction to R Studio and R Markdown

New

Convenor: Giulia Grisot (CDH Methods Fellow and a Visiting Academic)

This Methods Workshop will deliver an introduction to R Studio and R Markdown; the workshop will run through the functionalities and advantages of using R Studio and related tools for organising and analysing data, as well as for writing and referencing.

About the convenor: Giulia has a mixed background in Literary Linguistics, Psycholinguistics and Digital Humanities and has gained experience in both qualitative and quantitative approaches to texts and language in general, becoming familiar with several coding languages (R, python) essential for statistical as well as corpus investigations.

Giulia is currently working with large corpora of Swiss German fictional texts, looking at sentiments in relation to represented spatial locations, using both lexicon-based methods and machine learning.

CDH Methods Workshops are open to staff and graduate students who want to learn and apply digital methods and use digital tools in their research.

It is recommended that participants install R and RStudio (guidance will be provided with joining instructions). Participants are requested to complete this simple information questionnaire before the event.

This is an in-person workshop, no hybrid facilities will be available.
