SES-0111217Daniel J. MyersThis grant will support the coding of data in the archives of the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence. The Lemberg Center operated at Brandeis University from 1966-1974 and was a key site of research on the race-related civil disturbances of the 1960s. Since the center closed its doors and the prior director, John Spiegel, passed away, the archives of the center was presumed by many to have been discarded or lost. In early 1998, the main elements of the archive were re-discovered and other components have been located since then. The archive contains a wealth of previously unanalyzed data about the riots and promises greater understanding of the riots from a historical perspective and of collective violence and race relations more generally. In particular, the archives contain newspaper-based documentation of civil disorder events and interview tapes and transcripts.The archival data could potentially inform and significantly modify prior understandings of these particular riots and collective violence more generally. In particular, the more extensive data will provide for more accurate modeling of the economic and structural causal mechanisms that lead to rioting, a better understanding of the spread of collective violence via social diffusion processes, additional information about the methodological and substantive implications of media selection processes and media description bias, and more direct documentation of changing racial attitudes in response to the rioting. To lay the foundation for that research, it will be necessary to translate the newspaper event record into machine-readable format.

SES-0111217 Daniel J.Myers这笔赠款将支持对伦伯格暴力研究中心档案中的数据进行编码。伦伯格中心于1966-1974年在布兰迪斯大学运营，是研究20世纪60年代与种族有关的内乱的关键地点。由于该中心关闭了大门，前主任约翰·斯皮格尔去世，许多人认为该中心的档案已经被丢弃或丢失。1998年初，重新发现了档案的主要组成部分，并从那时起找到了其他组成部分。这份档案包含了大量以前没有分析过的有关骚乱的数据，并承诺从历史的角度更好地理解骚乱，以及更广泛地了解集体暴力和种族关系。特别是，这些档案包含以报纸为基础的国内骚乱事件的记录以及采访录音带和文字记录。这些档案数据可能会提供信息，并在很大程度上改变人们对这些特定骚乱和更广泛的集体暴力的先前理解。特别是，更广泛的数据将有助于更准确地模拟导致骚乱的经济和结构性原因机制，更好地了解通过社会传播过程传播集体暴力的情况，提供更多关于媒体选择过程和媒体描述偏见的方法和实质性影响的信息，以及更直接地记录应对骚乱的种族态度的变化。为了为这项研究奠定基础，有必要将报纸事件记录翻译成机器可读的格式。
