Computer Programming for Humanities Research: An Introduction to Python
Workshop leader: , Lecturer in Open Science / Scientific Officer, Sussex Neuroscience
In a world where research objects are generated, archived and shared in digital format, it is important that researchers know how to understand the computer code that allows these objects to be analysed, transformed and combined in ways that will lead to new learnings and insights.
This is also true in the humanities field, and our taster session will be a gentle introduction into the world of computer programming for research object analysis (both qualitative and quantitative). We will use Python, an open-source programming language that is designed to be easy to read and get started with, while being super powerful and one of the most used languages world-wide.
The workshop is open to Sussex humanities and social science researchers at all levels (please register using your @sussex email address). No previous knowledge of programming necessary! You'll just need to bring along a laptop to work on.
Light refreshments will be provided, and feel free to bring along your own lunch.
This workshop is part of the Digital Methods Accelerator, a series of open sessions hosted by the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab providing Humanities and Social Science researchers with critical digital skills.
