Signals in the Noise: Python Tools for Social Media Data (Spring 2025) 🔗
Signals in the Noise is a research project I worked on with Matthew N. Hannah, PhD and Madhav Valiyaparambil. A continuation of my Python for Social Researchers project, the aim of the site is to provide accessible tutorials to request social media content from APIs, clean and structure such text into data, and perform analysis of the contents. It's meant to be especially interesting to people working in digital media studies, critical internet studies, information studies, and
other digital research areas.
I created codebook guides for scraping data from Reddit and Telegram, a codebook guide for exporting data to a CSV file, and developed the website using Jupyter Book.
Python for Social Researchers (Fall 2024) 🔗
Python for Social Researchers is a project that I worked on in a lab class called "The Age of Mis/Dis/Malinformation," taught by Matthew N. Hannah, PhD. In the first 9 weeks, we learnt about mis/dis/malinformation with a focus on the 2024 presidential election. In the second 9 weeks we transitioned to working on projects that aimed to fight the spread of mis/dis/malinfomation. My project focused on providing digestible guides for social researchers that want to use Python to enhance their ability to collect and analyze important data about the spread of mis/dis/malinformation.
