'''[[Community Data Science Workshops]]''' — The Community Data Science Workshops (CDSW) are a series of workshops designed to introduce some of the basic tools of programming and analysis of data from online communities to absolute beginners. The CDSW have been held four times in Seattle in 2014 and 2015. So far, more than 80 people have volunteered their weekends to teach more than 350 people to program in Python, to build datasets from Web APIs, and to ask and answer questions using these data.

It does so via an interdisciplinary inquiry into four technological infrastructures of information and communication—print, wires, airwaves, and bits. Co-taught by [[User:Aaronshaw|Aaron Shaw]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Immerwahr Daniel Immerwahr].

However, they also threaten our well-being and undermine critical social institutions as well as the integrity of public discourse. This (advanced undergraduate and graduate level) course seeks to understand online communities & crowds. It does so through an interdisciplinary inquiry into a set of practical challenges that confront online communities & crowds today. When and why do some efforts to overcome these challenges succeed? What insights and expectations can we draw from these experiences? Taught by [[User:Aaronshaw|Aaron Shaw]]

* '''[Fall 2021]''' '''[[Introduction_to_Graduate_Research_(Fall_2021)|Introduction to Graduate Research (MTS 501, Fall, 2021)]]''' &ndash; The goal of this seminar is to introduce first-year students in the Northwestern University TSB and MTS Ph.D. programs to (1) current research in these fields, and (2) key challenges involved in pursuing an impactful, responsible, and fulfilling research career.
