Dear all,
We are excited to announce the availability of onboarding sessions to prepare Instructors to teach the _Data Carpentry Social Sciences lessons_. This workshop uses a dataset from the Studying African Farmer-led Irrigation (_SAFI) Project_ <http://www.safi-research.org/> - a research project looking at farming and irrigation methods used by farmers in Tanzania and Mozambique. This dataset is composed of survey data relating to households and agriculture in Tanzania and Mozambique. The workshop: * introduces project organisation and management for tabular interview/survey data * covers common issues with tabular data, including date handling * uses OpenRefine to teach reproducible data cleaning * teaches the creation of summary statistics and publication-quality graphics in R. Find more information on _the workshop homepage_ <https://datacarpentry.org/socialsci-workshop/>. We will be running onboarding sessions to help Instructors prepare to teach this workshop. Onboarding sessions will be held 29 October through 9 November. Sign up for a session on _this Etherpad._ <https://pad.carpentries.org/socialsciences-onboarding> If you want to pilot a social sciences workshop at your institution, you can _request a workshop here_ <https://amy.software-carpentry.org/forms/dc/request/>. Instructors who have completed onboarding will have priority for upcoming teaching opportunities. A recorded onboarding will be made available after 9 November for Instructors who are not able to join a live session. You can also self-organise a social sciences workshop. Use _our checklists_ <https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/hosts_instructors/index.html> to help you plan and organise it.
