University of Washington students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in the workshop, “Python, Your Personal Research Assistant” this Friday, December 2 at 9 am to 12 pm on the Seattle campus.
The workshop, led by Naomi Alterman from the UW eScience Institute, offers an introduction to the Python programming language as a tool to aid in qualitative humanities work. Together, we will learn how to read and make use of Python code to perform repetitive tasks and free ourselves to do the meaningfully human parts of our research. Attendees will leave the workshop with tools to sort Twitter tweets by tone, create random project groups from lists of names, and resources for further learning. No prior technological experience is assumed–this is a workshop for everybody! Sign up here.
The workshop will take place in the new Humanities Data Lab (MGH 076) and is hosted in collaboration with the UW Libraries’ Open Scholarship Commons and the eScience Institute.
