DESCRIPTION:\nScientific research and teaching are increasingly influence
 d by computational tools\, methods and paradigms. The social sciences ar
 e no different\, with many new forms of social data only available or pr
 actical through computational means (Kitchen\, 2014).\n\nWhile social sc
 ience research has always been marked by technological approaches to som
 e degree\, the field of computational social science involves the use of
  tools\, data and methods that require a different skill set and mindset
 .\n\nThis free workshop is an introduction to computational social scien
 ce. It offers attendees a chance to understand and discuss what computat
 ional social science is\, what it is good for\, how to become a computat
 ional social scientist\, and the basic steps to follow in an ideal compu
 tational social science research project.\n\nThe workshop intersperses i
 nstruction with discussion and gives participants the chance to develop 
 a research project idea through several steps. The workshop is suitable 
 for absolute beginners and NO CODING SKILLS are required.\n\nPresenter: 
 Louise Capener\n\nKitchen\, R. (2014). Big Data\, new epistemologies and
  paradigm shifts. Big Data & Society\, https://doi.org/10.1177/205395171

 \nExperience/knowledge required: No specific knowledge required\, but it
  will make much more sense if you currently (or plan to) conduct social 
 science research\nTarget audience: Social scientists who are interested 
 in or confused by what computational and empirical social science is abo
 ut\, or who know they want to start doing more computational work but do
 n’t know how to get started\n\n\nWe will be using Mentimeter to ask ques
 tions in this workshop so you may benefit from having a second device re
 ady for this\, such as a smartphone.\n
