The Department of Musicology at Leipzig University and LAB1100 are delighted to invite researchers, students, and other interested parties to our joint nodegoat workshop that will take place online and in person in Leipzig from 20 to 22 July.
The tool nodegoat offers scholars from the humanities interested in data-driven research and network analysis a powerful instrument to model and visualize data in various ways. As part of this workshop, you will get an overview of nodegoat’s features, how to build your own data model, and how to analyze the data collected. Therefore, we strongly encourage prospective participants to bring in parts of their own current research to work with it and discuss it together with the group. We think of this workshop as an inclusionary space for researchers on all career levels interested in acquiring new skills and hope for active participation that reflects on this workshop’s nature.
Following the recent addition of new features that allow researchers to link music notation to the existing data models of nodegoat, this workshop gives an overview and practice-driven approach to nodegoat’s diverse modes of analysis with spatial and chronological forms of contextualization.
The workshop will be held in English. The tentative schedule (GMT+1) is as follows:
