It’s Day One of our Computational Social Science Meets Qualitative Research workshop ✍️ We kicked things off with the first paper from @audreyalejandro and Daniel de Kadt 💡 @LSEDataScience

@AudreyAlejand will be presenting her work on "Reflexivity in Practice" tomorrow, by the Interpretive Methodologies and Methods Group of the American Political Science Association 💡 ➡️ https://t.co/OMtrJJrGL5

Innovating research highlight: “Walking in policymakers’ shoes – Using role-play to foster better research/policy relations,” Lucile Maertens, Audrey Alejandro, Zoe Cheli, (2024). Consider this bold (but perhaps time and resource-intensive) approach to empathic policy

someone studying depolarization interventions needs to test this messaging strategy

I illustrate the interest of theorising and disentangling these conceptualisation of #technicization based on the case study of the history of the medicalisation of #malecircumcision. 4/

Based on the history of methods & methodological debates in IR, I argue that the current promotion of methods in IR challenges the ‘critical vs non-critical’ divide & I argue that pro-methods critical scholarship is currently engaged in a process of de-technicisation of methods.

Happy to have become an affiliate of LSE Data Science Institute & pursue there my interest in building the bridge between Computational Social Science and Qualitative Research 🎉 Have a 👀 at this wonderful team of scholars https://t.co/Zzba1BQmRs @LSEDataScience @LSEMethodology

📣 Beate Jahn & Sebastian Schindler's new Encyclopedia of #InternationalRelations is OUT! Very proud to have contributed to the entry "#Methods" that I wrote as an introduction to methods for IR students. DM if you want the manuscript. @ElgarPublishing https://t.co/3IPG0FSH0r

This is the first article for which the feedback I've received pre & post submission has always been constructive, professional and very high level. Thank you to @EuroJournIR reviewers and editors, @k_freistein, @Alej_Esguerra, @LPantzerhielm, @LieseAndrea, @ChrisJDeacon and many

I develop three conceptualizations of technicization: 1. Technicization as depoliticization (Weberian) 2. Technicization as disciplinarization (Foucauldian) 3. Technicization as desociologization (Habermassian) It is my first paper that is really a #socialtheory /
