Political Context Matters: Content Analysis in the Social Sciences

MZES Postdoc Conference organized by Shaun Bevan, Mona Krewel, Sebastian Popa, and Yannis Theocharis

Our intent is to bring together prominent and up-and-coming social scientists at the forefront of content analysis methods including manual, machine learning and automated content analysis techniques. The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers to present recent work using or developing content analysis techniques with an eye towards building a stronger and better integrated research community.

We are particularly interested in bringing together scholars from different fields of the social sciences (e.g. political science, communication science, sociology) who are working with a variety of politically relevant texts (e.g. party manifestos, legislative outputs, social media) to encourage the exchange of innovative new designs and approaches.
