Investigating Representation with QTA

Abstract

This panel converges at the intersection of qualitative text analysis (QTA) approaches and social issues, exploring diversity representation and morality politics in political communications. Delving into various social and political landscapes, these studies provide multifaceted insights into pressing political issues, such as trans* rights, disability representation, and gender-inclusive language debates. All contributions employ the Text-as-Data family of methods to dissect different socio-political phenomena, enabling travel of knowledge across disciplines and fields traditionally believed to be separated in political science. By blending parliamentary speech analysis and natural language processing (NLP) with sentiment and emotion analysis, these contributions reveal nuanced patterns in disability representation, gender discourse, and emotional mobilization surrounding political decisions.
