GC Digital Research Institute

when: January 16-19, 2018

what: four-day intensive workshop in digital research methods

where: The Graduate Center, CUNY

why: to equip our academic community with digital research skills

who: for GC graduate students, faculty, and instructional staff of all skill levels and disciplines (no previous digital experience required)

GC DRI offers CUNY graduate students, faculty, and instructional staff an opportunity to develop digital research skills and to connect with others in an interdisciplinary environment. The week will begin with an introduction to the command line, git, Python, and databases for all students; participants will then have the opportunity to choose from a variety of more specific workshops on topics ranging from using APIs to the Natural Language Toolkit to machine learning.

The application will be open until 11:59pm on December 1st, 2017; however, we recommend that interested participants apply early, as space is limited.

Selection for the institute often depends upon the applicant’s availability for all sessions of the week-long institute, willingness to work and learn in groups, articulation of their research question to a lay audience, and general interest in learning new research methods.
