  language processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis\, using Reddit as a ca
 se study for social media research. We will explore the ethical and lega
 l considerations of working with publicly available online data and disc
 uss best practices for responsible and reproducible research.\n\nThe ses
 sion will provide a step by step walk-through of how to preprocess and e
 xplore Reddit data using both Excel and Python. No prior programming exp
 erience is required. We will start with core concepts before moving into
  more technical demonstrations.\n\nThe session will conclude with a Q&A 
 segment\, allowing time for questions and discussion.\n\nOptional hands-
 on participation: Attendees who wish to follow the live data scraping ex
 ercise are encouraged to set up a validated Reddit account. Basic famili
 arity with Excel or Python will be helpful but is not essential.\n\nThis
  workshop is aimed at beginners and anyone interested in analysing socia
 l media data. It will start with non-technical concepts. Accessing data 
 from social media is a technical process that usually requires Python bu
 t datasets will be provided for attendees to explore themselves. We will
  also show how to analyse this data using Excel for those who don’t prog
 ram. While Python isn’t required\, some familiarity with it is recommend
