by David Abadi 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Dear colleagues @ HotPoliticsLab, Within the framework of our H2020 DEMOS project, we are urgently seeking a student (Dutch native speaker) for writing up a report on populism in the Netherlands based on previously coded data (collected Facebook posts etc.). Our preference would be a social-scientist with an interest in Dutch populism. Our budget for this task amounts to 200 EUR. If you know any potential candidate, please contact me asap and I’ll provide further details. Best, David David Abadi (Ph.D.) Social Psychology Program, University of Amsterdam Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR) DEMOS - Democratic Efficacy and the Varieties of Populism in Europe (H2020-EU.3.6.1.1., H2020-EU.3.6.1.2.) https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/219150/factsheet/en <https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/219150/factsheet/en> https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498557009/Negotiating-Group-Identities-in-Multi… <https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498557009/Negotiating-Group-Identities-in-Multi…>

Second, Gijs Schumacher will present "How to organize a workflow with multiple authors? Furthermore, we are looking for some people interested in helping us during data collection at a film festival in Nijmegen next week.

Next Hot Politics Lab Meeting

Hi everyone, This Friday we will again have to exciting presentations! First, Christian Pipal will present a draft of his 8 month paper on emotional rhetoric in legislative debate. Second, Ebe-Manye Ouattara will present: "From norms, to traits, to trust? An experimental panel study into norms of political leaders' traits and their relation to political trust". Attached you find a draft of the paper and below some comments from Ebe regarding the feedback he would like to receive on his paper. This Friday our lab meeting will be in the Common Room on the 9th floor, from 15:00 till 17:00. Hope to see you all there! Best, Maaike Homan PhD Candidate at the Political Science Department Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research University of Amsterdam Room B10.01 [cid:b287e3c2-153e-403e-bc44-a94a63273a9d] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear hot politics lab members, The paper attached still has quite a long way to go before it is completed so feedback at this stage is most welcome. In particular, I’d like to point out that: * We plan on rewriting the norms section to better convey why we believe norms play an important in evaluations. * Pointers toward any sources or psychological literature on norm-based evaluations is much appreciated. * We also have a number of robustness checks to perform (see next steps section at the end) but we are open to conduct additional robustness checks that we haven’t thought about. * Any thoughts on how to make sense of these preliminary findings in light of our research puzzle and question is also welcome (e.g. does it contradict the model of norm-based evaluation or have we overlooked something?) Thanks in advance. Ebe Ebe-Manye Ouattara Ph.D. Candidate Department of Political Science, Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR), University of Amsterdam Nieuwe Achtergracht 166 , 1018 WV Amsterdam Room B8.22 Tel: +31687335494

Hi everyone, Just a follow up on the last email. I forgot to include the location of this Friday's lab meeting. This time we are not meeting in the Common Room, but in room REC B3.11 from 15:00 till 17:00. Best, Maaike Maaike Homan PhD Candidate at the Political Science Department Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research University of Amsterdam Room B10.01 [logo hot politics] From: Homan, Maaike [mailto:m.d.homan@uva.nl] Sent: dinsdag 8 oktober 2019 16:49 To: hotpoliticslab(a)list.uva.nl Subject: [Hotpoliticslab] This Friday's Hot Politcs Lab Meeting Dear lab members, This Friday we will have two exciting presentations! Andreu Casas (ASCOR) will present "Automated Visual Clustering: A Technique for Image Corpus Exploration and Annotation Cost Reduction". See attached a preliminary draft of the paper he will present. The second presentation is by Nico Berk, titled: "To lead or to follow? Mainstream parties' strategies and radical right success in Germany". See below some more information from Nico regarding his presentation. See you Friday! Maaike Homan PhD Candidate at the Political Science Department Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research University of Amsterdam Room B10.01 [logo hot politics] _________________________ Dear all, I am happy to get the opportunity to present a project I have been working on as part of the 'Big Data' course this Friday in the lab. The idea was to construct a measure of the attention parties devote to immigration, based on parties' press releases, using automated content analysis. The project went a bit further and I tried to estimate the effect mainstream parties' emphasis of immigration has on the radical right vote share (and vice versa), as well as the connection with public attention to the issue. As the starting point was entirely empirical, especially theory and analysis are still work in progress and the further direction of the project is somewhat unclear - hence I am looking forward to your comments! If you are curious, you can find a short summary (and all the code files) in this folder<https://github.com/samunico/ImEm> on my GitHub. If you are very curious, there is a very brief introduction<https://github.com/samunico/ImEm/blob/master/00_Introduction_and_analytical…> and a notebook for the analysis<https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/samunico/ImEm/blob/master/07_TimeSeries…> online. You can obviously access all the code files, but remember to click the links in the description, not the files directly, as some won't display correctly otherwise. Looking forward to see you Friday! Best, Nico _____________________
