OPINION COST Network

[OPINION COST Network @OPINIONnet]

With Agnieszka Stepinska, Aleksandra Krstic, Hajo Boomgaarden, @JohannesBGruber and @MarikenVelden, we'll discuss how we can work together across countries and disciplines to advance theory and methods for the study of opinionated text. Join the discussion!

[OPINION COST Network @OPINIONnet]

🕚 Starting at 11: Join us for an OPINION special panel at @ECREA2024 on Advancing the Study of Opinion Expressions in Digital Media: 3 short talks from the network (by Aleksandra Krstic @DimitraLMilioni @c_baden Agnieszka Stepinska) followed by a roundtable!

Over 1800 academics have signed this statement against academic boycotts, initiated by Cary Nelson & several other professors. If you haven’t yet, please consider signing.

“On Friday, August 9, 2024, the American Association of University Professors, which has long eloquently defended the core principle of academic freedom, reversed course and declared academic boycotts legitimate.
We believe the AAUP's new position is wrong-headed and dangerous.

We cannot safeguard academic freedom by violating academic freedom. Normalizing academic boycotts poses a profound threat to academic freedom.”

Visiting my favorite city Vienna is always a blast, even more if there's such a great crowd to work with as the one of the OPINION COST network. Thanks @FabienneLind for hosting and @JohannesBGruber et al. for organizing! 🙌

I said Twitter is over studied and we should study other platforms instead but that's not the solution to this issue I imagined...

Seriously though hope colleagues whose running projects depend on this will figure smth out, a tough spot to be in
