This Friday's Hot Politcs Lab Meeting
by Homan, Maaike 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

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 _____________________

Hello everyone, I have agreed today with Reinout de Vries (prof Psychology @ VU) to have lab-meets-lab session on Friday 17 January. This means we will have several short presentations by different lab members. Reinout is involved in several projects concerning the measurement personality and emotions from text, surveys, etc. We think there will be a lot of interesting overlap. So please mark 17/1 in your agenda. We've set the starting time at 13.00 for now. I expect you to be there (that is, if I pay your salary). This will replace the ordinary lab meeting on Friday. Kind regards, Dr. Gijs Schumacher Associate Professor Political Science University of Amsterdam Co-Director Hot Politics Lab<hotpolitics.eu> Web: gijsschumacher.nl Twitter: @gijsschumacher [logo hot politics]

Hi everyone, This Friday we will again have 2 talks. A tutorial from Bert Bakker about pre-registration (see message from Bert below). And a presentation from Gijs Schumacher called "Why do politicians go emotional?". As usual the lab meeting will be from 15:00 till 16:30 in the Common Room on the 9th floor (REC B9.22).

See you Friday! Best, Maaike Dear all, Friday (September 13), I will give a talk on pre-registration in the Hot Politics Lab "Pre-registration, pre-analysis, replication: what is it all about and why should you care". I will talk through a pre-analysis plan discuss the do's and don'ts. Obviously, there is no prior knowledge about this topic required but if you have never seen a study with pre-registered design and analyses, you might want to read one before to give you some context. Bakker, Lelkes and Malka is a recently accepted paper in which study 3 and 4 were pre-registered replications of the study 1 and 2 (paper, here: https://osf.io/ja6qw/ ). You can also find the pre-analysis plans belonging to study 3 and 4 here: https://osf.io/4zx3f/?view_only=1bbcfe1db044414183ee274ef62fe7c7 .

lab dinner
by Schumacher, Gijs 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hello everyone, Regarding the dinner: I would like to invite everyone who works for the Hot Politics Lab, as employee, intern or student-assistant. The dinner is at my place. The address is Werengouw 27 Amsterdam Noord. It's less than 30 minutes by bike from the uni. The quickest route is by taking the bridges in the east (from Flevopark). There's also a direct bus (nr.37) from close to the uni (linnaeusstraat) to the Werengouw. You can also do the touristy route: take the metro to Noorderpark and walk over the Nieuwerdammerdijk & Tuindorp Nieuwendam to my house (30 mins). You are welcome from 6 o'clock onwards. If we don't wake up the kids, then we can make it late (otherwise we might need to hit a local bar). There'll be vegetarian food. Let me know if that's an issue for you.
