Research

The Deep Narratives Africa (DNA) project is a content analysis study exploring the emergent thematic patterns of development actor narratives. DNA leverages text data (e.g Twitter, press releases, and news articles) of the multilateral entities (e.g the African Development Bank, World Bank Group, African Union) to mine these patterns. The goal is to systematically uncover trends, concepts, and issues in these actor narratives. Thematic similarities and differences identified in this project will be synthesized and visualized to contribute empirical evidence on the state of African narratives.
