Event details
The workshop focuses on the description and visualisation of social network data, looking at structural properties of a network, as well as ideas of centrality in the network. To understand the SNA perspective, practical examples are given from academic literature, illustrative graphics from the media, and source material visualised through R. An ability to program in R is not required for following the substantive portion of the workshop, but is required if you wish to follow along with the examples using code provided.
Pre-requisites: Familiarity with R or have attended workshop 4 (Introduction to R)
