Automating Protest Event Analysis Using Digital Media in Contentious Politics

Bogdan Mamaev is a political scientist specialising in political participation and protest, currently affiliated with Deakin University, Melbourne, and the Australian Internet Observatory. His research examines how computational techniques can be used to access and analyse data from news and social media. By investigating how citizens navigate political constraints and how government decisions shape civic participation, his work offers a deeper understanding of democratic and authoritarian practices across different political contexts.
