Mapping Controversies
Tutoriales para mapear controversias con métodos digitales desarrollado por investigadores del TANTLAB: “This tutorial material consists of 21 modules of 15 to 45 minutes, for 2 full days in total. It covers some of the technical / practical aspects of controversy mapping with digital methods. As such, it is designed to complement teaching on the controversy mapping course. Goal: learn how to harvest and explore data, formulate insights, and build relatable visualizations. Data: we will mostly use Wikipedia data to keep things relatively simple, but the techniques generalize to other media platforms and datasets. Tools: we will mostly use Tableau, Gephi, and Jupyter Notebooks. No experience required”.
