I specialize in political text analysis and regularly teach courses on this topic. These range from hour-long introductory lectures, to workshops such as Tools for Text, to the two week, full-time Quantitative Text Analysis course at the ECPR Summer School in Methods and Techniques. More details about that are below.
I don't have any formal teaching obligations, but old habits die hard. I wrote the new(ish) Graduate School a new core course
At Maastricht I taught on the usual bundle of courses in 4 or 8 week formats. Starred courses are ones I designed.
For four years I taught the Quantitative Text Analysis course at the ECPR's Summer School in Methods and Techniques with Ken Benoit. A course page is here.
I will be presenting a four day version of this material with Sven-Oliver Proksch as part of the EITM Europe again this year.
If you want it all in two days, you can get it at IQMR at the Consortium for Qualitative research Methods at Syracuse this summer. Last year we did it in a day, but that was a bit exhausting.
This course shows how to use Python and Django to rapidly build social science coding project infrastructure. 'Middle-sized' means larger than a spreadsheet but smaller than the European Election Study. 'Rapidly' means the ability to create a database-backed website that coders can log into, with forms for all data structures, downloadable datasets for other academics, and public search and browsing, in a couple of hours.
This was last taught as a short course at APSA 2009. Course page (for participants).
Contact me directly if you are interested in having me give these courses at your institution.
At the Methods and Data Institute I used to teach the following. Starred courses are ones I designed or co-designed with Cees van der Eijk.
The Institute's website provides more detail on what they're offering right now.
