πŸ“Š Are domestic war crimes trials biased? We use Text as Data methods, using LIWC to look at judicial decisions from Serbia (1999–2019). We find conflict actor biasβ€”paramilitary crimes are described in longer, more graphic detail, while state actors' crimes receive shorter, more neutral accounts.

New book argues national identity increasingly owes debt to interpersonal communication through social media Personal communication with friends and family – particularly through social media – is one of the most important ways in which people form their national identity, a new book argues. β€˜Doing Nation’ i...

How do people form their national identity? Is it an abstract sense of belonging to an imagined community? Or is it more dynamic than that - something rooted in interpersonal communication? @sanjavico.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk explores this dynamic in her new book.

I develop a theory of national identity and concept of 'doing nation' to argue that a nation comes into being and is sustained through (mediated) everyday interpersonal communication practices & thus represents embodied cultural and discursive practices.
