Latina/o Studies Conference 2014: A Twitter Archive of #lschi2014

It served as the founding conference for what will become the official organization of Latina/o Studies (official name TBD). Organizers for the conference proposed the hashtag #lschi2014 to social media users and I have made an archive of tweets using this hashtag.

I compiled them using Martin Hawksey's TAGS, which uses Twitter's API, and they can be accessed in this .XLSX document posted on figshare. Some tweets are missing text but their totality can be obtained by visiting the link found in the column for "status_url." The dataset is available with a Creative Commons-Attribution license (CC-BY) for academic research and educational use. Researchers making use of the archive should keep in mind that Twitter's API is not 100% reliable because it over-represents more "central" users as it obfuscates peripheral activity (bit.ly/1rvrSvq).
