Abstract
We study applications of network science methods, this time in the domain of social media.Topics are selected for diversity in research questions and techniques.Student teams present results from the recent literature, possibly with replication, in a mini-conference at the end of the lecture period.
Objective
Network science as a paradigm is entering domains from engineering to the humanities, but application is tricky. By examples from recent research on social media, students learn to appreciate that, and how, context matters. They will be able to assess the appropriateness of approaches for substantive research problems, and especially when and why quantitative approaches are or are not suitable.
