Virtual Summer Institute
From June 14 to June 26, the Maastricht Law & Tech Lab (Monika Leszczynska and Catalina Goanta) will host the virtual Summer Institute in Computational Social Science Maastricht (SICSS-Maastricht).
The purpose of the Summer Institute is to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and beginning faculty interested in computational social science. SICSS-Maastricht is for legal researchers, social scientists (broadly conceived) and data scientists (broadly conceived). SICSS-Maastricht is unique among partner locations in its focus on legal data, both from the perspective of collection as well as analysis. Throughout the duration of this online institute, we will explore how computational methods can be applied to legal research questions. Activities include streaming lectures by digital sociologists Matthew Salganik (Princeton University) and Chris Bail (Duke University), and solving computational legal tasks especially designed for the summer school.
If you want to develop computational skills (e.g. scraping websites, social media) as well as empirical research methods such as surveys and experiments on M-Turk, this event will give you the necessary building blocks to develop yourself in this regard. Application deadline 5 May, and more info here: https://compsocialscience.github.io/summer-institute/2020/maastricht/.
