SUMMARY:Programming with R
DESCRIPTION:R has become an indispensable tool for academics in a range of disciplines for analyzing data. Many users come to it though with limited programming experience which can often lead to many more headaches than anyone should reasonably suffer. This workshop attempts to make R a bit less painful. Fortunately the past few years have seen a flowering of open source packages that have tried to do just that. We will learn about some of these packages and how they can be incorporated into our projects. Though this workshop does not require you already know R\, it makes more sense for those who have already begun using it or are considering using it for a future project. \nLEVEL: Intermediate\nNOTES: Can bring own laptop or borrow one at workshop

SUMMARY:Thinking Through Word Embeddings
DESCRIPTION:Word embeddings are a family of algorithms that can be remarkably effective at representing the meanings of words\, and their relationships to each other. We’ll cover the basics of word embeddings: what they do\, how to train a model using word2vec\, and how to use them to search for synonyms and analogies. And we’ll look at issues more specific to the humanities and social sciences\, including how to compare models trained on different sets of texts to each other\, when to use word2vec vs topic models\, and strategies for visualizing models. Finally\, we’ll talk about the social biases embodied in the space of language models\, both as a technical problem with solutions and as an opportunity for algorithmic criticism. \nHands-on analysis and visualization will be done editing pre-written scripts in the R statistical environment; no prior programming experience is necessary. We’ll distribute several pre-trained models at the workshop\, but you can try to train one on your own texts ahead of time as well. \nLEVEL: Beginner\nNOTES: Laptop with R and Rstudio programs installed required. Instructions available.

SUMMARY:Introduction to R and Emacs
DESCRIPTION:Almost everyone is going to have to load data and make graphs. You want to do this in a stat system that is free and open source. Also\, it is a waste of time to reinvent the wheel every time you change languages. We will use simple crime and poverty data but generate a wide variety of plots including maps. \nLEVEL: Intermediate\nNOTES: Personal laptop in which software can be downloaded (Chromebooks are discouraged)
