The D-Lab is proud to present our new brown bag series, "How We Did It", a bi-weekly, hour-long presentation on specific topics from quantitative data cleaning to best practices for entering the field for participant observation. Each brown bag will feature a short presentation/demonstration on techniques followed by an informal question and answer/comment session.
The goal of the series is to provide instruction and information on more specific topics and foster methods-specific community building.
We welcome graduate students from all disciplines at all stages of research.
Thursday, April 28 Seminar:
Working with a large corpus of qualitative data? Trying to make decisions about how to approach coding and analysis with more data than you could possibly hand code in a reasonable amount of time? Come hear how Ariel Bierbaum navigated working with 18,586 articles from 32 newspapers from 2001 to 2013 for her study on school closures in 13 cities. Her work flow included eliminating irrelevant articles, removing duplicates, and then drawing a representative sample for hand coding. Bring your lunch and come hear more!
