In this 90-minute session, we will examine how text analysis can help the social sciences, data sciences, and the humanities engage in research using a variety of methods. We will discuss:

• Why is text analysis useful for research today?

• What is needed to get started with text analysis?

• What methods to get stated with text analysis?

• How long does it take to learn various text analysis methods?

Along the way, we will create a dataset using the Constellate Platform and consider what it may reveal.
