Christian Baden has specialized in the analysis of meaning co-construction in dynamic discourse. Key aspects of his research relate to frames and narratives as semantic structures, the transmission and reconstruction of meaning between distinct discourses and toward recipients, as well as the cognitive representation of meaning and knowledge in mind. His research has focused on various aspects of European political discourse, crisis discourse, and the discursive construction of conflict and propaganda. Christian Baden’s main methodological work relates to the development and integration of discourse analytic, (automated and manual) content-analytic, and (semantic) network analytic methods. Drawing upon both quantitative and qualitative techniques of data collection, his aim is to advance techniques for the analysis toward a rigorous comparative and dynamic analysis. Christian Baden opened his Habilitation process (Project title: Measuring Meaning: Unraveling the dynamic co-construction of political discourse) in 2013. He is currently an Assistant Professor (Akademischer Rat) at the Institute for Communication Science & Media Research (IfKW), LMU Munich.
