Overview
Key facts
- At its core, Radboud University's Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) allows researchers to manually code actors’ opinions about policies in text data.
- In a way similar to other qualitative content analysis tools, the user annotates statements of political actors about their preferred or rejected concepts, policy instruments, frames, or beliefs.
- Useful text sources can be newspaper articles, parliamentary testimony, press agencies, or social media. DNA then allows the researcher to export various kinds of network data based on what the user coded.
Programme Structure
Course include:
- After attending the course, participants will be able to confidently code their own policy debates using the DNA software, possibly in teams, and will be able to analyze the resulting network data competently in visone and, if a participant has prior R skills, also using the rDNA package.
- Most importantly, participants will learn how to operationalize important aspects of policy process theories using discourse network analysis and apply the methodology to their own research questions.

Other requirements
General requirements
Participants should be interested in thinking about social phenomena and policy making as complex systems. Basic experience with the statistical programming environment R would be a plus, but only a small part of the course will actually use R. If you are willing to listen without using R during these parts, R skills are not strictly required. Participants should ideally bring their own laptops.
