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.

Things are obvious: the only system that has seen prostitution decrease is the Nordic model for it is a true abolitionist policy. Any public policy that would leave out of its reach one of the three major parts of the prostitution system is bound to fail. Sweden has challenged the major part of the system, which is the john. No johns, no prostitutes, no trafficking, no pimps. It’s as simple as that – and it took me ten years to reach that conclusion!
