Dear all,

Kenny Joseph and I are organizing tutorials this year for IC2S2, the
International Conference on Computational Social Science which will be held
virtually 27-31/7/2021. If you have anything that might broadly fit the
idea of a tutorial,  we encourage you to submit! The application is due on
4/28, and details can be found at the link below:

Of course, please send any and all questions our way!

Theresa Gessler


IC2S2 2021 will be preceded by a day of tutorials and skills workshops
on *Monday,
July 26*. They should give social science researchers and data analyst
enthusiasts the opportunity to add new tools to their toolkit. For this we
are calling for proposals of tutorials that address methods, skills and
tools useful to conduct research in computational social science, including
but not limited to the following topics:

   - data collection / text mining approaches for social scientists
   - new advances in social network analysis
   - text analysis
   - visual communication and visualizations
   - using sensors for studying behavior
   - combining digital trace data and additional data (e.g. surveys)
   - assessing biases in data collection
   - best practices for working with online communities (including
   crowdsourcing and participants recruitment)
   - legal and ethical dimensions of CSS research
   - reproducibility in CSS research
   - Experiment design and development in CSS

We particularly invite proposals for “disciplinary state of the art
sessions” that give a focused overview on the latest developments, trends
and perspectives in a specific discipline or research area. These should
help researchers in the interdisciplinary field of CSS to catch up with
developments in areas outside their core expertise.

We also welcome proposals for tutorials on any other topics at the
intersection of the social sciences, computer science and/or statistics. We
will consider any topic; provided that the proposal makes a strong argument
that the tutorial is important for the IC2S2 community.

Tutorials should be of interest to a substantial portion of the community
and should represent a sufficiently mature area of research or practice.
Tutorials should be comprehensive and should not focus only on the
presenter’s previous work.

We anticipate that each accepted tutorial will be *3 hours* long. However,
we are also accepting half-tutorials (1.5 hours) and full-day tutorials (6
hours).
