Mapping EU referendum debate

项目摘要

The aim of this Fellowship is to improve the quality of understanding and debate about the European Union (EU) and the UK's relationship with it. With the coming referendum on British membership of the EU, there is an excellent opportunity to capture the full scope and depth of the debate and to present it back to a wide range of users as a supplement to their debates. While there has been a lot of interest in these questions, there has also been insufficient consideration of how academic research might help to facilitate the debate and enable people to make more informed decisions. Through a combination of original research and a wide range of outputs, the Fellow will work to achieve these aims.In particular, the Fellowship will provide original research in a timely manner on the content and structure of the campaigning surrounding the referendum, with a range of outputs designed to meet the needs of a full range of audiences. In so doing, it will offer a rich source of insight into the potential paths that the UK might follow after the vote itself and so have lasting value to a core debate in British politics.Thus, the main part of the Fellowship will concern itself with engaging in, and contributing to, the public and academic debate on the EU, through its work in collecting and analysing new material. This will be done through a series of activities, each designed to connect with different audiences.The centrepiece of the Fellowship will be a web-based resource that provides weekly summaries and analysis of the official and unofficial campaign materials, throughout the formal 10-week campaign period and the period of the Fellowship preceding that. This analysis will consist: of quantitative analysis of rhetorical frames, core themes and channels of communication used; and of qualitative reviews of the pattern of debate. The resource will progressively develop a data set that will then be turned towards more academic purposes after the campaign concludes, to review all of the points already mentioned, as well as a mapping of the activists in both campaigns.This work is complemented by the production of a series of extended thought pieces throughout the Fellowship. This pieces will be published online, in a variety of locations, to synthesise the key findings of existing research and the original research into key questions relating to the referendum campaign. This work will be directed mainly at practitioners in politics and the media, although written in a manner that the wider public can access them. A key channel for this work will be the already existing work being undertaken by the proposer with his regular "A Diet of Brussels" podcasts that have been discussed such points since the May 2015 general election.There is also a more narrowly academic strand to the work, with the organisation of two colloquia during the year, to bring together practitioners and academics to discuss the key themes of the Fellowship's theme. This will contribute towards the production of several articles for academic journals, as well as the thought pieces, Finally, all of these activities will be mirrored by an active presence in both social media and in the mass media. Capitalising of existing strengths in both areas as a trusted commentator and contributor, the Fellow will use his presence on Twitter, Facebook, blogging and podcasting to produce concise, rapid-response and high-frequency contributions to debates as they emerge. Similarly, media contacts will be extended by working to produce more substantial contributions to print and broadcast outlets.

该奖学金的目的是提高对欧盟和英国与欧盟关系的理解和辩论的质量。随着英国即将举行的欧盟成员国公投，这是一个很好的机会来捕捉辩论的全面范围和深度，并将其作为辩论的补充提交给广大用户。虽然人们对这些问题很感兴趣，但也没有充分考虑学术研究如何有助于促进辩论，使人们能够做出更明智的决定。研究员将通过结合原创研究和广泛的产出，努力实现这些目标，特别是将及时提供关于全民投票宣传活动的内容和结构的原创研究，并提供一系列产出，以满足各种受众的需要。这样做，它将为英国在投票后可能采取的潜在路径提供丰富的见解来源，从而对英国政治的核心辩论具有持久的价值。因此，奖学金的主要部分将致力于通过收集和分析新材料，参与并促进关于欧盟的公共和学术辩论。这将通过一系列活动来实现，每项活动都旨在与不同的受众建立联系，研究金的核心是一个网络资源，在整个正式的10周运动期间以及在此之前的研究金期间，每周提供对正式和非正式运动材料的摘要和分析。该分析将包括：对修辞框架、核心主题和所用沟通渠道进行定量分析;对辩论模式进行定性审查。该资源将逐步开发一个数据集，然后在运动结束后转向更多的学术目的，以审查已经提到的所有要点，以及两个运动中的活动家的地图。这项工作由整个奖学金的一系列扩展思想作品的制作来补充。这些文章将在网上发表，在不同的地方，综合现有研究的主要结果和原始研究到有关公民投票运动的关键问题。这项工作将主要针对政治和媒体从业人员，但以更广泛的公众可以接触到的方式编写。这项工作的一个关键渠道将是提议者已经在进行的工作，他的定期“布鲁塞尔议会”播客自2015年5月大选以来一直在讨论这些问题。这项工作还有一个更狭窄的学术链，在一年内组织两次研讨会，将从业者和学者聚集在一起讨论奖学金主题的关键主题。这将有助于为学术期刊撰写几篇文章，以及思想作品，最后，所有这些活动都将反映在社交媒体和大众媒体上。作为一个值得信赖的评论员和贡献者，研究员将利用他在Twitter，Facebook，博客和播客上的存在，为出现的辩论提供简洁，快速反应和高频率的贡献。同样，还将扩大与媒体的接触，努力为印刷和广播机构提供更多的实质性材料。
