Seeing China Through Catholic Eyes is a text analysis project exploring how one Catholic newspaper, the National Catholic Welfare Conference, depicted the massive changes China underwent from the 1920s to the 1950s. This project gathered, processed, and analyzed hundreds of articles over decades using Natural Language Processing and Topic Modeling to offer a bird’s-eye view of the trends during a period of tumult. But despite massive political changes, this project finds that while political developments were certainly covered in the newspaper, it only ever composed a sizable minority of the articles published.
This project is not available online for intellectual property reasons. See the presentation slides in its place.
