Hi all,
The GC Digital Initiatives is planning our next set of workshops for the spring. We are aiming to focus them on researching social media. Researchers across the humanities and social sciences are increasingly using data from social media in their work, and the troves of data available hold potential for groundbreaking and innovative outputs. Much of this data, such as tweets on Twitter and posts on instagram are already geotaged, which lends itself to a spatial analysis.
In addition to mapping tweets and posts, I’m trying to brainstorm some ways that GIS can be used for social media research. Do you have any thoughts? Do you have ideas for workshops on this topic that would be useful for you?
Thanks!
Olivia
