Dear Applied Statistics Workshop Community,
Our next meeting of the semester will be at *12:10 pm (EST) Wednesday, Apr
6*, where Adeline Lo <https://www.loadeline.com> (University of
Wisconsin-Madison) presents "Refugees in Modern Media."
*Abstract*
The effects of refugee migration permeates most aspects of a recipient
society, not least native inclusionary attitudes and behaviors towards
refugees. While recent research has emphasized measuring the extent to
which direct exposure to refugees affects inclusion, much less is known
about the more frequent type of refugee exposure natives experience:
exposure to refugees through media representation. This project establishes
key patterns to how much and in what ways modern media represents refugee
stories, how this has changed over time, and explores how major shifts in
the ways refugee stories have changed affect native inclusion using a
unique television corpus covering the universe of broadcasted news in
Germany throughout the period leading up to and following the globally
renowned ``Open Door'' announcement in the Syrian refugee crisis.
