Workshop: Expanding Your Research Toolkit: Alternative and Digital Methods for Undergraduate Inquiry
This workshop introduces students to a range of digital and computational research methods (including mapping, network analysis, text analysis, visualization, and data-driven approaches) and explores the kinds of questions these methods are designed to answer. Through examples drawn from the humanities, social sciences, interdisciplinary research, and activist projects, participants will consider how alternative methodologies might enrich their own research projects and fellowship applications.
