What does it mean to take a bird’s eye view of reading and understanding text? This session introduces text mining, a digital humanities-based approach that combines digital and humanities thinking and methodologies to explore patterns, trends, and other ways of looking at texts that would otherwise not be possible manually. Using open-source software and web-based tools, participants will learn the basics of text mining, including important terms, limitations, sources of text, as well as possible applications for their own work with ample opportunity for hands-on practice – no prior experience or knowledge required.
*Participants should bring their own computer device to participate in these hands-on sessions.
