During part one of a two-part workshop, Text as Data, Dr. Ye Wang and her collaborators will share the work on an automated data warehouse design that is supporting collective impact across 31 colleges and universities to better support STEM students with disabilities. Dr. Petri, Dr. Yugyung Lee, Dr. Wang, and a NSF-via-Auburn-University team are working with colleges from the Northern Marianas to Maine and rely on the data system to automate all of the information requests and reporting and to permit each college to tailor parts of the instruments to fit their culture and needs. Part one will be followed by Q&A with Dr. Petri, Dr. Yugyung Lee, and Dr. Wang.

Part two of the workshop all participants will use WeListen, another text-as-data tool, to provide feedback on the automated data warehouse design. Participants will be able to see how WeListen immediately prepares and presents data for the purpose of gaining insights to what is possible. Part two will be followed by a dialogue between Dr. Wang and Dr. Blanton on the implication of Text as Data for Digital Humanities.
