Participants learned a great deal by using a powerful digital tool like Clic to analyze #gender in #19th-century #fiction with concordance analysis, all run by Dr. Nathan Dykes @nfdykes.bsky.social.

We wouldn't want to pick favourites among #RC21 workshops, but if we did, the #DHSS2025 participants would be tough to beat.

It was great to see such lively discussions during a hands-on concordance analysis exercise that didn't need anything more than a PDF reader.
