If you are an early career researcher, please get in touch with us as we can subsidize your travels. We are hosting this workshop with Christof Nägel, @maxpi.bsky.social, and @markwittek.bsky.social with the support from the Cologne International Forum.

The workshop strives to bring together scholars using online and offline data sources to study topics such as political discourse, hate speech, voting, political radicalization, or crime. It will take place in-person at the University of Cologne. We will provide coffee, lunch and dinner on the 28th.

Find our preprint here and let us know what you think! This is very much an ongoing discussion.
