Prof. Lev Manovich, who we will be reading soon in our class, is offering a free workshop on visualizing social media data such as photos on Instagram. I think that this workshop would be tremendously beneficial for many of you who are studying various social media’s effect on language. The workshop takes place after class on Tuesday from 6-9PM, and registration is required. Go here for all the details and registration.
Similar terms for extra credit: 250 words discussing what you learned and did. Of course, you can cite the workshop as a part of your research for your final papers, too.
