SUMMARY:2nd Annual Conference on Politics and Computational Social Science (PaCSS)
DESCRIPTION:“The data and methodologies available to social scientists have exploded with the emergence of vast archives of passive data collection\, large scale online experimentation\, and innovative uses of simulation.  These data are of a larger magnitude and methods are of a greater computational complexity than approaches that have dominated political science for the last 50 years. \nThis offers the potential for rich insights into society at scale\, while simultaneously introducing new ethical and infrastructural challenges. In parallel\, the information and communication technologies that have driven these changes are also driving changes in politics\, around the world\, that require study. \nIn order to understand the political world\, it is increasingly important to gain access to the political communication and behavior occurring online. This preconference gathering will offer a forum for political science research in this emerging space. Example relevant topics/approaches include:  analysis of social media; text analysis; use of finely granular geographic data; large scale online experimentation. \nScholars from all subfields of political science are welcome\, as are researchers in other relevant disciplines\, such as computer science\, sociology\, and physics. The meeting will take place 9am-5pm on Wednesday\, August 28th at Georgetown University. \nEveryone who wishes to attend should apply. We welcome applications to present\, discuss or simply participate. We recognize that strength comes through diversity\, and actively seek\, welcome\, and encourage people with diverse backgrounds\, experiences\, and identities to apply and attend. \nThis will be a one day conference with a keynote by Sandra González-Bailón of the University of Pennsylvania. A wide range of subjects for presentations are welcome\, including purely methodologically oriented presentations or applications thereof; synthesis/overviews of research; discussions of ethics and/or data infrastructures; and so on. Papers are not required. \nApplications to present should be submitted by June 3 at our proposal submission page. \nRegister for the conference at our registration page.  Registration is $50 before August 1\, 2019 and $100 after that.  The conference includes breakfast\, lunch\, coffee and snacks. \nPew Research Center is pleased to host two parallel training workshops at their office in downtown D.C. These workshops will focus on two key areas: 1) natural language (NLP) processing techniques and their application to social science questions; and 2) deep learning techniques with applications to image analysis for social scientists. Participants will be given hands-on experience building and training models in these subject areas and will also be able to meet members of Pew Research Center’s Data Labs team. Workshops will run from 2pm to 5pm Tuesday August 27. Light snacks and coffee will be provided. Cost per participant is $25. \nPACSS 2019 is sponsored by the McCourt School of Public Policy Data Science for Public Policy Program\, the Office of Provost Robert Groves\, Georgetown University and Sage Publishing and the Pew Research Center.”

SUMMARY:Political Communication APSA Pre-Conference 2019: Media and Democracy in Troubled Times
DESCRIPTION:“Political Communication as a discipline has long been concerned with the interactions between media\, citizens\, and government. In 2019\, both the media and democracy have fallen on hard times. We are facing hard questions about whether free speech can survive the rising tide of disinformation\, whether a free press can sustain itself financially\, and whether liberal democracy can coexist with digital populism. \nFor the 2019 Political Communication APSA Preconference\, we invited paper submissions that deal with topics related to media and democracy in troubled times. How are citizens\, journalists\, media outlets\, digital platforms\, and public officials adapting to these troubled times? What is the nature of the threat that we face\, and what (if anything) can be done?”
