Annotation
This course introduces students of Social Studies and Humanities (SSH) to data analytics. Until recently, data- analytical skills were generally believed to be reserved to Information Technology specialists.
However, the mainstream SSH have undergone a significant “quantitative turn” and, for the current generation of students and scholars, practical digital skills have also become a standard competence. The curriculum has arisen as a joint effort of Charles University, University of Warsaw, and Sorbonne University.
