Book, Number, Graph: Getting Started with Text Analysis

US Latino Digital Humanities Center

This workshop introduces participants to some foundational principles, practices and challenges when working with textual data.

How do you get from a stack of books to a graph reflecting what’s inside them? What gets in the way? What research questions does the process enable? This workshop introduces participants to some foundational principles, practices and challenges when working with textual data. No programming experience required. Attendees will use Voyant as a vehicle to explore text analysis, but the workshop will create an experience beyond this one tool. The workshop will discuss the affordances and limitations of Voyant as a vehicle for exploring the opportunities and challenges of working with textual data.  Brandon Walsh, PhDBrandon Walsh is Head of Student Programs in the Scholars’ Lab in the University of Virginia Library.
