Osman Demirbag
Kommentar
This research seminar guides students through the methodological frameworks for analyzing political texts as historical data, with a strong emphasis on quantitative text analysis. The course begins with an examination of the interplay between US party politics and economic policymaking from the 1840s to the present day, setting the stage for an in-depth understanding of historical sociology. Building on this historical backdrop, the seminar leads students in the systematic collection and curation of political texts, with a focus on party manifestos as pivotal sources for historical research. ----- As the course progresses, students will work with R for coding, statistical analysis, data visualization, and to implement automated text analysis techniques. Throughout the seminar, in-depth discussions will explore the successes and challenges of formal text analysis, particularly regarding interpretation and explanation in social sciences. This critical engagement will enable students to proficiently analyze the political and economic narratives within historical documents, thereby enhancing the scholarly exploration of quantifying qualitative aspects in political party research.
