The workshop aims at examining the impact of the growing use of computational methods — including machine learning, natural language processing, event data extraction, and network analysis — in the study of conflict and peace. It aims to reflect on how these tools are reshaping research through the collection and analysis of data at an unprecedented speed, scale and granularity, while also addressing the broader methodological, theoretical, and epistemological implications of the “computational turn.”
