Analyse de données quantitatives en sciences humaines et sociales (ADSHS) (FUN)

Pas besoin d’être matheux pour être confronté, au quotidien, à une profusion de chiffres et de données statistiques. Dans les médias, sur les réseaux sociaux ou même dans les conversations ordinaires, il est courant d’argumenter, chiffres à l’appui. Pourtant, sommes-nous sûrs de savoir d’où viennent et comment ont été produites ces fameuses « données chiffrées » qui semblent faire autorité, ou qui animent tout au moins le débat ? Ce cours en ligne propose d’abord de revenir sur les raisons qui ont poussé les premiers chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales à introduire les données statistiques dans leurs raisonnements, stabilisant des méthodes d’investigation de l’opinion et des pratiques qui se sont par la suite vulgarisées dans l’espace social.

Vous découvrirez ensuite les bases de cette construction de données, et les difficultés qui y sont associées, difficultés que l’on oublie bien souvent de mentionner lorsque l’on fait parler les chiffres. De la définition d’un échantillon à la réalisation de tests de validité statistique, en passant par les rudiments de la confection d’un questionnaire, de construction de variables, ou de composition de tableaux, vous entrerez donc dans la mécanique des données quantitatives en sciences humaines et sociales. Parce que si la notion de « big data » fait beaucoup parler d’elle ces derniers temps, il nous a semblé utile de rappeler qu’il n’est pas forcément donné à tous de parler de «données», du moins sans un minimum de formation.

Le racisme et l'antisémitisme (FUN)

Le racisme et l’antisémitisme sont des notions sujettes à bien des interprétations, analyses et discours. Elles nous sont familières, mais les difficultés surgissent dès qu’il s’agit de les définir avec précision. Ce Mooc propose d’abord un état des lieux, d’une part historique, et d’autre part consacré à l’actualité de ces phénomènes, avant de réfléchir à l’action antiraciste.
