Data-Driven Research Collaboration Group: Lunch Seminar
Senior Research Fellow Jukka Huhtamäki, Tampere University, will give a talk on the title
Supporting ethnographic social media research with computational analytics: case Christchurch
Chair: Mikko Laitinen
Abstract:
Qualitative and quantitative research methods are often considered not only as alternatives but different ends of a continuum. This presentation paints a different picture in showing how computational methods can be used to support ethnographic research. Specifically, the presentation gives a hands-on overview of four years of research on violent hybrid media events that combine ethnographic media research with computational methods, including collecting data from Twitter, using topic modeling as means for distant reading of the data, and social network analysis for insights on the structure of the interactions in the data. Examples taking a literate programming approach in the form of Jupyter Notebooks are given to illustrate the day-to-day interdisciplinary working practices when studying the aftermath of Christchurch mosque attacks in the hybrid media system.
