Levyna and Hume Lab invite you to a workshop delivered by Bret Beheim. Dr. Beheim is a Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. His research is focused on using the tools of evolutionary ecology to understand cumulative cultural dynamics in human societies. You can find more information on his website: https://babeheim.com/

Open science methods in fieldwork

In this workshop, I will go over the data processing methods used by the Data Provenance Research Group at MPI-EVA for collecting survey-based information in the field, as well as rapidly digitizing and processing large amounts of archival materials through a modular, standardized data pipeline using software written in Kobo Toolbox, R and the bash shell. Workshop attendees are encouraged to use RStudio with a working terminal interface if possible.
