Welcome back everyone. So in this part of the workshop, we're going to focus on text analysis and topic modelling. For folks who are sort of new to this area, text analysis and topic modelling is an area within digital humanities in which we use digital methods to engage in distant reading of text. And it allows us to uncover trends or patterns that close reading does not allow us to see. So typically in this area, we'll have things where we're trying to analyze large bodies of texts or corpora to sort of help establish what trends do we see within this data. So some other questions that are answered in this area of digital  humanities, we might be interested in seeing how a particular topic in a novel or corpora evolve throughout that body of text. Also, what keywords or subjects arise in a set of documents is a possible question that this area can help answer. Also, how are the words in this document set related, okay? Sometimes they might be interconnected in a way. And then another possible question or project that could be answered in this area is the words in this set of documents or corpora relate to those in another set or another corpus. So how are these two corpora related to each other? And sort of using the digital tools within text analysis helps us answer some of these questions. Certainly this is not all of the questions that are answered, but it's just to sort of give you an idea of where you can begin. So one example that we have is this was done last fall, Fall 2019 in Dr. Kalani Craig's class. It was a digital humanities, digital history course. And so here, students did a semester long project. It was student-driven. It was a history harvest project where students performed oral histories with members of the community, sort of centered around the idea of what is your identity. So what objects or what memory sort of connect you to Indiana, and what it means to be a Hoosier. And so students carried out this project interviewing members of the community, and they transcribed the interviews. And afterwards, one of the areas in which the students focused was sort of trying to see what trends we saw in the interviews. So using a digital tools such as Voyant, students entered in the transcripts from the interviews and were able to come up with word clouds and sort of look to see how the words are connected with each other in the interviews. So one of the things that the students did was they divided the objects into whether they were manufactured, that the students manufactured or handcrafted objects to sort of see how did people talk about their objects. So as we can see in the word cloud, the manufactured objects, some of the big words that stand out are Bloomington, birthday, friends, okay, and we can sort of see in this network map how they're sort of connected. And then for the hand-crafted objects, individuals talked a little bit differently about these objects. We see family has a bigger role, there's also culture - we see the word represent, school, tradition. And in the  network map you can sort of see how these words are all interconnected. So this is a project that students carried out throughout the entire semester. We held a history harvest alongside First Thursdays, where the students interviewed folks. And then throughout the remainder of the semester, the second half, essentially, students were able to carry out this project. If you want to see more information about what students did, they wrote up a blog post of sort of the process that they did in analyzing the interviews. And you can find that there at that history harvest web page. So please feel free to sort of go and look and see what students did. And you can sort of begin to see how they wrote about their experiences. But this is one such project that students are able to do. Now, obviously, Dr. Kalani Craig is one of our co-directors so she was able to incorporate this project throughout the entire semester. So it doesn't mean that you will necessarily carry something out this big - we can use Voyant for even just a one-time activity. But just to sort of help you understand these tools, help us sort of see what major trend or words come out of different bodies of text. So we can definitely help you scale something down to something much smaller, even if you're only looking for a one-time activity in your classroom, just to sort of give you an idea of what students are able to do with this tool. We also provide a teaching template. So this is a lesson plan available to help incorporate Voyant into your classroom. There is a link below that will give you access to that PowerPoint. It sort of walks you step-by-step into what you need to do before getting to the classroom to incorporate Voyant into a project or into a class activity. And it's sort of a plug-and-play PowerPoint. If you still have questions or still feel a little uneasy about using that template, please schedule a consult with us and we are more than happy to help you incorporate this tool into your classroom. Or if you're not quite sure if this is the avenue that you need to go with, the questions that you want your students to answer, we can certainly help hone down those ideas and find the area that is best suited for the questions that you're trying to answer. So now what we're gonna do is we're going to do an interactive activity. There is another video that will show you how to use Voyant. But what we want you to do is we want you to use Voyant and to plug in some sort of text that you're very familiar with. This could be a reading that your students do, it could be one of your own manuscripts. We just want you to pick something that you're very familiar with, something that you've read quite a bit or maybe it's an article that is sort of the center of your course or of your research just to sort of help you see how using this distant reading tool like Voyant will help you uncover trends that you may not have seen before. So there will be a separate video for you to see how to use Voyant, but think about what body of texts or what corpus could you enter in as a way to sort of get this distant reading, okay? And please stay tuned for the rest of the workshop. Like I said, we sort of divided it up into smaller digestible parts, so each of our three areas is getting its own dedicated video and interactive activity. So please stay tuned. Thank you!
