Issue Mapping/Evidence
Method evidence record

Issue Mapping

Issue mapping is an issue-centred digital research method that charts the actors, objects, and concerns gathered around a public issue—ageing, climate, vaccines, migration—using web and social-media data. Descended from controversy mapping but reoriented around the issue rather than a controversy or a pre-given social domain, it draws on Noortje Marres's pragmatist account of issue formation and the Amsterdam Digital Methods Initiative's repertoire to let the issue itself demarcate who and what counts.
