In the humanities and social sciences, network analysis has been used to visualise relationships and interactions in everything from sixteenth-century letter writers, through characters in literary texts to contemporary social media. This workshop, led by Ben Roberts, Associate Professor in Digital Humanities, will introduce Gephi as a way of visualising networks. We will also look at some examples of how network analysis has been used to undertake research in humanities disciplines such as history, literature and media studies. You will need to bring a laptop computer (Windows/Mac/Linux) to the workshop.
The workshop is open to Sussex researchers at all levels - please register using your @sussex.ac.uk email address. Refreshments will be provided.
