About the Workshop:
Scope: This workshop will introduce using R and the package iGraph to make social network visualizations. Participants with little to no R experience should be able to keep up. Beyond the visualization construction, we will explain some of the uses and concepts of social network analysis, how to make custom plots, and how to modify the code from class for their own use later.
