On 26 September at 14 hrs, we* are co-organizing the #workshop: "Positionality statements: a tool to open Your research".

A lot of attention within the #OpenScience debate has been given to sharing research materials. This workshop focuses on opening up and sharing the decisions and assumptions underlying the research process of why, what and how studies are conducted. The event is aimed at both #qualitative and #quantitative researchers.

"As a #quantitative #socialscientist who has studied #religious change in modern societies for more than 25 years, I’m surprised – and sceptical. I do not doubt that the #BibleSociety acted in good faith, but they haven’t engaged with the mountain of #evidence, some of it very recent, pointing to #religiousdecline.

Is there really a #religiousrevival in England? Why I’m sceptical of a new report

"Modern civilisation has a number of extremely delicate and highly interconnected components whose graceful degradation is effectively impossible."

It is "much easier to break things than to build them up. The government administrations of Britain, France and Germany for example, were set up at a time in the nineteenth century when the rising middle classes demanded a properly functioning state[…]. It took perhaps a generation for professional, neutral public services to fully emerge."

"Forty years of globalised neoliberalism have broken our societies, our economies and our political systems, and we no longer have the ability to put them back together."

Abstract submitted to the European Colloquium on Theoretical and Quantitative Geography #ECTQG conference in #Tallinn.

It is a new acquaintance to me, apparently rather big among geographers who work with #network data and other #quantitative #geography folks. Anybody else going?

I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…

🖥️ We collected the #SocialMedia data from #Twitter from 2021 until 2023 and used #Rstats and #Python to perform analyses.

We used #IssueAttentionCycle framework with #qualitative and #quantitative approaches to examine how public discussions changed throughout the study period.

Thoughts: Not sold on the approach, but the conclusion seems plausible.
