It would be cool to talk through those “layers of complexity” and what it would take in terms of both time and infrastructure to do this in a classroom setting.

Now I am interested in incorporating qualitative interviews with users and coding of online data based on insight from these conversations. I am interested in connecting with people who have done or are interested in doing similar projects

Students will post to blogs, for instance, but getting them to read and engage with work from their classmates has been a challenge. I would love to discuss how to get students conversing online without it devolving into awkward assigned conversations

I am in conversation with lots of folks who do this although I mostly defer to their recommendations on the mechanics. How do you engage this level of data manipulation?

I do this in service to the study of religious behaviors and cultural systems. So I am interested in systems-level study of cultural and social dynamics that facilitate transmission of cultural resources. It forces humanists to think about the mathematics of cultural dynamics, quantification of qualitative changes, etc. I am interested in the kinds of blow-back one can get from humanists who claim this is not the important thing humanists should be studying and that it is reductionistic towards the qualitative changes culture exercises on culture possessors, culture curators/elites, or students of culture who “should” expect to be enlightened by interpretive exercises rather than being turned into “bean-counters”.

Semester checkouts? I don’t have a good answer yet – so this session sounds great.
