How do people represent themselves on social media, and how are they represented by others? Which qualities and virtues are emphasized (or ignored)? How polarised are these (re)presentations?There is a workshop looking at this very question happening in Oxford in early January (14th). The morning will be a series of workshops on tools for tackling a question like the above (I’m thinking of attending the Wikipedia and Topic Modelling workshop), and the afternoon will be a hackathon looking at some data sets.It sounds pretty interesting, and a nice way to warm up to the new year. It’s being hosted by the The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities, and you can signup on eventbrite.
