The QSIDE Institute Data4Justice Accelerator is BACK!
QSIDE is offering a 5-week professional development program aimed at equipping activists interested in data-driven social justice research with the technical skills to make it happen!
Following the success of our summer session, our winter session will run from January 11th to February 14th.
Participants will learn how to:
- find and collect data using APIs and data scraping;
- clean and organize data using RStudio & R;
- use data science methodologies to uncover meaningful insights and relationships in your data;
- build data stories and effective visualizations to showcase results and inform policy and sway public opinion; and,
- turn qualitative into quantitative data using Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Anyone interested in learning how to conduct social justice data science research is welcome to apply! A basic understanding of statistics may prove useful, but is not required.
