Walking in the Midst: Seven Approaches to Large-Scale Pattern Spotting of Gender-Based Issues in Stories
Webinar | Online
-
Organized by:
WE Program
- In partnership with: Story Engineer
About the Event
What do with a collection of thousands of human rights stories? The WE Program has been exploring this question for several years. In this webinar we will explore some of these results in order of growing complexity, beginning with some simple but creative approaches to counting, sorting, and data visualisation up to Sentiment Analysis, Natural Language Processing, and Topic Modelling.
We will use these tools to investigate the current state of gender equality in the WE Program. We will also search for shifts we might see in the stories after we presented the first draft of this research to our facilitators in the Spring of 2023, and ask how this analysis can stay relevant moving forward.

| Connor McMullen | Story Engineer | Hi, I am Connor, a Story Engineer! I used to be a "regular" engineer making helicopters and cars, but now I help organisations make sense of stories and the technology that helps us to work with them. I also tell stories, record podcasts, and experiment with AI whenever I get the chance! |
| Moon Murkherjee | WE Program Facilitator | The tipping point for me came when I started working with the Fair Labor Association. Interviewing people around me, I discovered human rights violations at the workplace almost seemed to be a norm and not an aberration. The framework of WE gives me access to the people whose life I want to impact. |
