Are you interested in doing research with social media data? If so, you might be interested in a workshop I have organised (as a BSA Digital Sociology Group event) which will be a basic introduction to using the software programme NodeXL for social scientists. This will be at Leeds Beckett on 9th January 2017 and you can register through the BSA website (£15 BSA members, £20 non-members). The workshop will be led by the excellent Wasim Ahmed who is a PhD researcher in the Information School and a Research Associate at the Management School at The University of Sheffield and also a social media analysis consultant. The session will give you a grounding in using NodeXL to analyse Twitter (and potentially other networks) and suggest some ways it is of particular use to social scientists.
