Everything you need to know about our seminars
Our online seminars are open to anyone interested in exploring research methods, including students, early-career researchers, and experienced academics. Whether you’re new to computational methods or looking to refine your skills, you’re welcome to join.
No prior knowledge is required. While some sessions may introduce advanced topics, our online seminars are designed to provide context and practical insights that are accessible to participants with different levels of expertise.
Our online seminars focus on applying data methods in social science research. Topics include text analysis, machine learning techniques, computer vision, and practical aspects such as data management and replication. Each session provides both theoretical context and hands-on insights.
Participation is simple. You can register for upcoming online seminars through our website. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing the Zoom link and any materials to prepare for the session.
Yes, our online seminars are recorded. Registrants will receive access to the recordings shortly after the session, enabling them to revisit the material or catch up if they were unable to attend live. If an individual seminar can’t be recorded for any reason, registrants will be notified ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
No, our online seminars are free to attend. We are committed to making research methods accessible and fostering knowledge-sharing within the social science community.
We welcome researchers interested in sharing their work and practical experiences with a method. If you’d like to present, please reach out through via email to gro.evitaitinisdohtematad@olleh with a brief description of your proposed topic, research context, and method.
Each seminar lasts 90 minutes and includes two parts. In the first half, the presenter introduces the research context, including the question, theoretical background, and key findings. The second half offers a behind-the-scenes look at the method, where the presenter shares practical insights, such as challenges, tools, or data requirements.
