Really interest morning #ACSPRI24 session (broadly) on network mapping. Liveblog here: snurb.info/taxonomy/...

Really interesting set of case studies of mixed-methods research approaches in the last #ACSPRI24 session for today. Last set of liveblog posts for now (more tomorrow, including my keynote):

Some useful papers on the use of LLMs in content coding at #ACSPRI24 this morning (though the overall tenor is still ‘ugh, it’s complicated’). Liveblog here: snurb.info/taxonomy/...

👏 What an awesome opening keynote at #ACSPRI24 by Maggie Walter, on Indigenous data sovereignty. Here is my liveblog:
