This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the process of
scraping Twitter and Facebook data for research. We will also examine
two pre-collected datasets to understand what kind of data is
collected by these tools, the politics of the social media platforms,
and the kinds of Humanities questions we can ask of social media data.
This workshop will have a particular focus on data related to social
and racial justice as we have seen a resurgence of social justice
movements in digital spaces in the last decade and there has been
substantial scholarly interest in studying digital culture. Our
conversation will also consider the ethical concerns regarding data
collection, especially data related to political activisms. No prior
technical skills are expected, and the workshop is open to all
interested participants.
