SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Money and Meaning in the Climate Change Debate: Organizational Power\, Cultural Resonance\, and the Shaping of American Media Discourse
DESCRIPTION:In this research\, I investigate why some framings of climate change are publicized in American mainstream media while others are not\, examining organizational power and cultural resonance as two paths through which messages may gain visibility. First\, I use automated text-analysis to identify climate change frames in interest groups’ press releases (N=1\,768)\, coding frames for features believed to heighten cultural resonance. Then\, I use plagiarism-detection software to identify which messages were publicized in three major newspapers from 1985-2014. I find that policy messages from structurally-powerful interest groups such as business coalitions have received disproportionate media attention in the US climate debate. However\, organizational resources alone are not determinative of messages’ success. Political messages are also more likely to receive visibility when they leverage sources of cultural power\, such as by appealing to the latent worldviews of American audiences or their pragmatic concerns at particular historical moments. Results suggest both cultural and organizational power have shaped the perspectives given visibility in the American climate change debate\, while also describing limits on either form of power to determine media discourse.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AIM Seminar / MCAIM Colloquium: Identification of Interacting Neural Populations: Methods and Statistical Issues
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  I will discuss the primary statistics-in-neuroscience topic my trainees and I have worked on over the past eight years: it is the problem of identifying interactions among neural populations from large-scale electrophysiological recordings. I will describe statistically natural approaches we have used to document interactions among brain areas based on neural spike trains (using latent variable point process models) and oscillating field potentials (by defining an exponential family on a multidimensional torus). I will also highlight some of the high-level lessons I've learned about the nature of statistical inference in science\, which suggest ways we can continue to improve the scientific process. \n\nContact:  Danny Forger
