Information for students
This course can only be taken together with 32604-S25 (Conflict in contemporary societies II)
Comments
This course introduces students to the sociology of the public sphere and the related dynamics of conflict that surround policy making in contemporary societies in both conceptual and empirical terms. Each double session combines theoretical reflections and discussions of key concepts and arguments with practical, hands-on introductions to methods suitable for studying the public sphere. The methods covered range from qualitative text and discourse analysis using MaxQDA to quantitative approaches of text analysis in R including basic exploratory analyses, dictionary based approaches and sentiment analysis as well as more complex language models.
Students are not expected to have any prior knowledge in programming or other software, but are expected to participate actively in the course, prepare readings and submit small take-home assignments.
For students from the BA North-American Studies: If completed with a term paper, the full course covers one "Advanced Module" (Vertiefungsmodul) in sociology. close
