(following up on a conversation at the end of the seminar today)
If the general topics we discussed in the course are of interest to you:
1. Keep us in mind for theses at all levels (BSc/MSc). Just get in touch. We're always looking for motivated students. We could either propose topics from a list we have, or work with you on something that you're passionate about.
2. Check out these book lists, compiled by Casey Fiesler:

3. Look online for events under the umbrellas of "Data Science for Social Good" (DSSG) as well as "Computational Social Science". E.g.:
https://www.what-the-hack.saarland/ local hackathon
https://www.civic-coding.de/ a yearly (?) opportunity to pitch "for good" technology
https://datasciapps.de/dssg/ (was for 2023, but they might have more iterations)
https://dssg-berlin.org/
https://sicss.io/locations (more locations coming soon)
We're also completely revamping https://www.i2sc.net/ at the moment and will also have more events there.
