Public Poetics CWRCshop (September 2012, Mount Allison)

Location

Crabtree Auditorium M14, Mount Allison University.

Schedule

See Public Poetics website or the CWRC website.

Visualization tools

We're going to be looking at and playing with some visualization tools in the hands-on portion of the CWRCshop. Some of them allow you to visualize texts or collections of texts of your own choosing. If you would like to play with materials that are relevant to your own writing or research, you will want to prepare them in advance so that you can import them into the tools. The instructions below are meant to be easy-to-follow directions that require only basic computer literacy. (If you have any suggestions for how the directions themselves could be made more user-friendly, please send them to cwrc [the at sign] ualberta [a dot] ca.
