Dan Edelstein: Social Network Analysis for Humanistic Research
Wednesday, November 19
4 p.m.
When Stanford’s Dan Edelstein set out to map the social networks of the French Enlightenment, he was uncertain of the efficacy of Gephi and other digital tools typically used to analyze and display similar types of data. In this talk, Edelstein considers methods for conducting social network analysis on humanistic data, using his unique project, Mapping the Republic of Letters, as a case study.
This program is also part of the Center for the Humanities at Temple's Digital Humanities in Practice series. |

Taking on the Digital Divide: A Philadelphia Perspective
Thursday, November 20
3:30 p.m.
According to local organization KeySpot, 41% of Philadelphians lack access to computers and broadband internet.

This panel, moderated by Juliana Reyes of Technical.ly Philly, features local advocates who are fighting inequity by providing computer and internet access, information, and training.
Public programs are held at Paley Library, 1210 Polett Walk on Temple Main Campus, unless otherwise specified. |
