Emotion and reason in political language
In the day-to-day of political communication, politicians constantly decide how to amplify or constrain emotional expression, in service of signalling policy priorities or persuading colleagues and voters. We propose a new method for quantifying emotionality in politics using the transcribed text of politicians’ speeches. This new approach, described in more detail below, uses computational linguistics tools and can be validated against human judgments of emotionality.

From Princeton to London via Chicago: My Summer Institute in Computational Social Science journey
Continuing our series on the Summer Insitute in Computational Social Science, Joshua Becker traces his SICSS journey.
Before I get into this, you should know I’m a network researcher. So even though this is ostensibly about a summer program, it’s also about networking. I almost didn’t participate in the Summer Institute in Computational Social Science, or SICSS as I now know it fondly. At the time, I thought it was just about learning the skills — and I felt I had a solid methods foundation — and mainly just applied because it seemed like the kind of thing I was supposed to do as a grad student. Having never previously seen the gorgeous Princeton campus, I imagined the trip itself as little more than spending two weeks in suburban New Jersey rather than at home with my wife. Luckily, I applied. And luckily, I was accepted. Mileage may vary, but I made out well on the deal.
