There will be exercise time using Voyant, a low barrier text analysis tool that delivers a rich, interactive interface. All exercises will be demonstrated, so no prior knowledge of the tool is required. The room is equipped with a jack to allow easy sharing of your desktop on the screen, so if you discover something that you would like to share and discuss, we can easily do so. Please feel free to bring your own material for upload and analysis to the workshop, understanding that upload of any material will be subject to the Voyant privacy policy.  Sample texts and URLs for analysis are listed below for experimentation, in case you run low on ideas.
