Browning pioneered the inaugural national research conference dedicated to the analysis of data extracted from the C-SPAN Archives. Over the ensuing years, this groundbreaking initiative has culminated in the generation of an impressive nine volumes of pioneering research based on the wealth of audio, video and textual information within the C-SPAN Archives. This enduring legacy underscores the impact and significance of the conference in advancing our understanding of research using archival digital data.<\/p>\r\n This Summer the Center for C-SPAN Scholarship & Engagement (CCSE) will continue this amazing tradition of scholarship engagement by offering the inaugural Video Research Institute (VRI). Led by the CCSE\u2019s newest team member \u2013 Dr. Bryce J. Dietrich<\/a> \u2013 the VRI is an invitation-only educational and research opportunity for graduate and postdoctoral students in all social science disciplines.<\/p>\r\n At the VRI, students will learn state-of-the-art techniques to analyze over 278,776 videos available at the C-SPAN Video Library<\/a>. Sitting firmly between active and experiential learning, participants will be given tutorials on the latest methods and work with one another on research projects to be presented at the end of the institute.<\/p>\r\n
