I'm currently transcribing interviews and I'm seriously impressed by aTrain (business-analytics.uni-graz.at/de/forschung...). It uses offline Whisper AI models to transcribe audio data - saves money, time, and keeps data safe. #qualitative #interviews

💫📚 New and open access: '‘Intersubjective Empathy’ and the desecuritisation of migration: Assessing public attitudes and support for refugees in the UK' from Dimitris Skleparis, Georgios Karyotis, and‪ @andrewrmcneill.bsky.social. 👉 Read here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is an exciting concept that we look forward to developing. OA: doi.org/10.1017/eis....

A new paper by Penic, Elcheroth and @rezartabilali.bsky.social is very elegant: combines qual vignettes about diverse conflict experiences with large-scale survey data to show that awareness of diverse conflict experiences produces social cohesion when soc. norms allow sharing of these experiences.
