[Air-L] mining images in social sciences

Dear fellow members, I am planning a research project which aims to study political participation by visual means. More precisely, the project plans to collect images related to e.g. political protest, immigration, animal rights from social media and use computational methods to mine them. I am a real novice in what concerns mining images in social sciences and I would need your help to guide me to the relevant literature. I would just add that text data will be collected as well, but I am quite familiar with mining methods for text data (NLP). Looking forward to helpful advice to get me started with the project I wish you all a nice weekend! With the best wishes, Alina
