Digital Scholarship Series

This workshop introduces three computational text analysis methods—topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and the use of LIWC-22 (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count)—along with an introduction to web scraping for building custom text datasets.

You’ll learn how researchers and practitioners use these tools to analyze patterns across corpora, from interviews and social media texts to archival documents.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your qualitative research with computational techniques or gain skills that translate into research, policy, or industry roles, this session will help you get started.

All UCR community members are welcome to attend. Make sure to register with your UCR email. Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants one hour before the workshop starts. Participants are expected to follow and uphold UC Riverside's Principles of Community.
