**Apologies for Cross-Posting** Two (PhD/ECR) workshops rethinking the relationship between quant-qual in social media research, will be held at Goldsmiths, University of London this May. The first, 'Going Digital', is an introductory workshop on the challenges of locating, scraping and analysing social media data facing both quantitative and qualitative researchers. The session will include presentations by Noortje Marres, Brian Alleyne, Dhiraj Murthy and David Moats and introduce students to several freely available, exploratory web based tools (Digital Methods) through hands-on instruction and small group work. The goal will be for students to approach digital data, and new methods, with open minds but equipped with more critical faculties. *Going Digital * 12 May 2014 10-5PM RHB 250 http://www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=7438 The second event, 'Digital Tools for Qualitative Research' is a more advanced workshop specifically investigating the potential for 'quanti-quali' (Latour and Venturini 2011) methods: which allow for close reading of texts as well as patterns and relationships at the aggregate level. The first day will include presentations by Noorjte Marres, Bernhard Rieder and Tommaso Venturini and will be devoted to discussing the participant's specific research problems and the affordances of existing methods and tools for addressing them. The second day will be devoted to a specific Twitter analysis tool, currently in proto-type, which will be tested and customised in a small group environment with programmers, designers and researchers working collaboratively. *Digital Tools for Qualitative Research* 15-16 May 2014 10-5PM RHB 350 http://www.gold.ac.uk/csisp/events/digitaltools/ email d.moats@gold.ac.uk for further info about both events.
