Curious about mastering text analysis using computational methods? 🧑‍💻📊 This summer, I’m teaching an introductory course at the @methodsnet.bsky.social Summer School at @weareceu.bsky.social in Vienna. Would be nice to see you there!

Got a project idea? Stuck on a coding task? Wanna meet new friends & potential collaborators? 🫶 Check out this #hackica22 project by @larakobilke.bsky.social, @aytalina.bsky.social, Ani Baghumyan & @christianpipal.bsky.social for inspo & join us at #hackica25 in Boulder! ⛰️ doi.org/10.3389/fpos...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

We took X to court. And we won! ⚖️ The courts ruled that X must urgently grant us access to their publicly available data via their API. This access is critical for our analysis of online public discourse ahead of the upcoming German elections. Read: bit.ly/4gBWGp4 Here's what's happened 1/3 👇

When is an ‚area‘ of valid truth, rather than a single point, the more appropriate assumption for annotating texts? In our new preprint, led by @ahrabhikat.bsky.social with @janabernhard.bsky.social and Hajo Boomgaarden, we study coder bias when annotating constructs of marginalization.

Excellent opportunity for PolComm scholars. Join us in Zurich.
