Today 10am to 4pm, CAT4SMR (Capture and Analysis Tools for Social Media Research) hosts a workshop in BuzzHouse! Both the Round Room and Open Space will be closed during this workshop.

‘On May 23, we will introduce interested scholars to two powerful tools (4CAT and the YouTube Data Tools) for the data-driven analysis of online platforms such as 4chan, Instagram, Reddit, Telegram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. The goal is to help students (Master’s, PhD) and researchers (all levels) integrate social media analysis in their research and teaching.’

‘The morning (10:00-12:30) will be dedicated to the presentation and discussion of 4CAT and YouTube Data Tools. How and why to use them, how to get up and running, best practices and things to watch out for. In the afternoon (13:30 – 16:00), we split into small groups and open the floor to discuss specific research questions and projects, and how to approach them in terms of methodology, logistics, ethics, and so forth. This part of the workshop is optional.’
