#PhD vacancy: Migration Narratives in Digital Societies
How do online migration debates become politically consequential?
Migration has long been central to political contestation, but digital platforms have transformed how it is discussed. Online debates do not revolve around facts alone. They unfold through rapidly circulating narratives that combine language, images, personal stories, and emotional appeals.
➡️ We are looking for a PhD candidate with strong quantitative research skills. You will combine multimodal social media analysis with survey experiments and data-donation methods, drawing on sociology, political science, computational social science and data science.
