SUMMARY:NCRM: Drawing\, multimodality and interaction analytics
DESCRIPTION:Analysing embodied interaction enables researchers to study the qualitative details of communication and to do reliable coding of interaction for quantification. Some researchers use video stills and word processing software to add arrows and highlights. Others use simple sketches or tracings to present their research findings in their final published results. However\, until now\, no dedicated courses have been offered that teach drawing as a method for the transcription and analysis of social interaction.\nThis one-day course will introduce researchers to the theory and method of conversation analysis\, and to new graphical tools\, transcription methods\, and software systems that are available for multimodal analysis of audio-visual data. It will involve short presentations\, group discussions and practical work including video data gathering\, transcription and analysis. No special equipment is required\, although we encourage participants to bring some means of recording video (e.g. a phone or other digital camera). \nThis course is aimed at researchers across disciplines with an interest in face-to-face social interaction and communication (human or animal\, face-to-face or video-mediated). No prior experience of drawing or conversation and discourse analysis is necessary\, since we will cover the basics required to learn independently. \n  \nLearning outcomes \nThis course will introduce you to methods\, techniques and tools for analysing embodied social interaction. \n  \nThe course covers: \n\nConversation analytic methods for collecting\, transcribing and analysing video data.\n\n\nDrawing techniques for use in field notes and in exploratory data analysis sessions.\nHow to create and use multimodal transcripts for data analysis and presentation of results.\nSoftware tools for creating and sharing computer-readable graphical transcriptions.\nFuture directions for multimodal interaction analytics e.g. automation and open science.\n\nCost \n• £30 per day for UK/EU registered students\n• £60 per day for staff at UK/EU academic institutions\, UK/EU Research Councils researchers\, UK/EU public sector staff and staff at UK/EU registered charity organisations and recognised UK/EU research institutions.\n• £220 per day for all other participants \n  \nPlease head to the NCRM website for more details

SUMMARY:Programming with Python for Social Science Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:This four-day bootcamp is aimed at academics and postgraduate researchers across the social sciences wishing to build skills with computer programming as a research method. The event will provide participants with not only programming skills (i.e. the “how” of programming) but also explore Python as a tool that can be creatively applied to problems in the social world (i.e. the “why” of programming as a social researcher).\nThe bootcamp is free to attend\, places will be awarded via this application process. The deadline for applications is  12pm on Friday 30th August\, with decisions being sent by the 16 September. We will be providing a light lunch each day\, one evening meal for all partcipants and free B&B accomodation for the Tuedsay to Thursday evenings for those outside of the Manchester area. \nPrior to the event\, participants will be briefed on how to install relevant software packages and be given a selection of readings to introduce them to the various intersections between software/algorithmic design and social science research work. \nThe event itself will open with a crash course in Python programming designed to take absolute beginners up to an intermediate level. This will include guided “hands-on” instruction with Python as well as talks on methodological issues\, and introductions to exemplary use cases of Python in social research; all of this will be delivered with an emphasis on the various relevances of these skills for participants’ work. \nThere will be a range of activities for participants to engage in to build and practice their skills with Python in collaboration with other social science practitioners. For instance\, there will be a workshop component on designing (research-relevant) software tools and algorithms\, where participants will work in groups to sketch out (on pen and paper) designs/plans for various applications selected from randomised combinations of flashcards. Participants will feed back their results to the wider group as a collaborative discussion on software design issues as a methodological concern. \nBuilding on this\, participants will also engage in a more hands-on “hackathon” event\, working in small groups to plan out and start building tools\, algorithms or applications that would be of relevance to their research goals\, and participants will feed back their initial results to the wider group for the purposes of constructive critique (which affords an opportunity for participants to think about how to conceptualise and talk about programming in a social science context). \nOverall\, this bootcamp aims to provide participants with a core set of Python programming skills\, and kickstart collaborations and projects that will both foster an emerging network of social science programmers and provide opportunities for them to continue developing their skills beyond the event itself. \nCost: Free \nHead to the NCRM website for more details
