This seminar is designed to encourage more MPRC affiliates to take up text mining as a research strategy. The recognition of Blacks and Whites in the U.S. press since 1980 illustrates the possibilities and challenges of text mining. Once the text ambiguities are minimized, the results show that Black and White recognition increased especially during periods of racialized violence (i.e., Rodney King in L.A. and George Floyd in Minneapolis) and the resulting anti-racist mobilization.
Presented by the Maryland Population Research Center. More details and registration link on the MPRC website.
