About the Presentation

This seminar is designed to encourage more MPRC affiliates to take up text mining as a research strategy.  The recognition of Blacks and Whites in the U.S. press since 1980 illustrates the possibilities and challenges of text mining.  Once the text ambiguities are minimized, the results show that Black and White recognition increased especially during periods of racialized violence (i.e., Rodney King in L.A. and George Floyd in Minneapolis) and the resulting anti-racist mobilization.

About the Speaker

Reeve

Reeve Vanneman is a stratification sociologist whose recent research focuses on changing gender inequalities in the United States and India. With Dave Cotter and Joan Hermsen, Vanneman has been trying to understand why the U.S. gender revolution of the 1970s and 1980s stalled in the 1990s.
