Skill School workshop-serie: Big Data Augmented Ethnography in Social Media Research

Nedan följer en kort sammanfattning och en länk till Skill Schools webbsida där du hittar mer information och kan anmäla dig till denna och andra Skill School-workshops. Workshopen hålls på engelska, därav nedan text på engelska.

Digital media platforms offer vast amounts of data that are of interest to social scientists. This course introduces students to the methodological apparatus of big data augmented ethnography (Laaksonen et al. 2017) for studying social media. This is a mixed-method approaches that builds on a combination of digital and computational methods, such as network analysis and computational content analysis, and more traditional approaches such as digital ethnography and qualitative content analysis. In essence, ethnographic observations can be used to contextualize the computational analysis of large data sets, while computational analysis can be applied to validate and generalize the findings made through ethnography.
