#POLI1017 #POLI2049 On state-centrism and conflict. Especially relevant for later when we are looking at Civil Wars, 'messy conflicts', hybrid wars and whether engaging with these is limited by state-centrism in our datasets.

How state-centric is conflict studies? In this new article in International Studies Perspectives 🎉, I systematically examine how 12 major conflict event datasets embed state-centrism through their inclusion criteria, classifications, and documentation. academic.oup.com/isp/advance-...

This new paper by @audreyalejandro.bsky.social puts forward an argument that we'll take seriously at the COW war data project. This is especially relevant we thinking about recoding the Non-State and Extra-state war data.

I had the pleasure of presenting my research at @eui-eu.bsky.social on technicization and the governance of male circumcision in global health policy, as part of a @civica.bsky.social initiative. The paper is available open access: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @lsemethodology.bsky.social

New publication: Studying Knowledge: An Analytical Guide for International Politics. This chapter offers a practical toolkit for more rigorous research: clarify core concepts, structure your research design across 6 dimensions, and avoid common pitfalls. DM for access. @lsemethodology.bsky.social

New preprint ✨ Computational Discourse Analysis is taking off—but how it bridges discourse analysis & NLP/QTA is often confusing. Here, I clarify what it is (and isn’t) & outline two main approaches to make it more rigorous and accessible. Would love thoughts & feedback! osf.io/preprints/so...

🔭 What’s the future of reflexivity & how do we put it into practice? New article in @natrevmethodsprimers.nature.com I argue for three priorities 1) evaluation criteria 2) studying reflexivity as a socio-cognitive phenomenon 3) adapting it across research traditions OA: rdcu.be/eX79L

"Are we measuring the right things in the social sciences?" At an LSE Open Research Panel this week @audreyalejandro.bsky.social said "so many of the tools we rely on to assess research quality are really just proxies, yet our methodological standards drop when we evaluate our own profession"

The workshop "Computational Social Sciences meets Qualitative Research" at #LSE last week was exceptional 🤩Now preparing the Special Issue that is going to be 🔥 so watch this space. Thank you to all the participants and chairs for your great insights and the amazing vibe.
