- March 2 “Tiny Data” (not yet confirmed)
In contrast to “Big Data,” i.e. enormous data sets scaled for computational analysis, “Tiny Data” is data scaled for the qualitative, human-level analyses that characterize humanistic inquiry. By quantifying qualitative observations, a Tiny Data approach supports the analysis of ambiguous, deeply nuanced, and non-linear sources. Learn more about data-centered approaches to close reading.
