Abstract
Panelists outline three qualitative methodologies: stasis networks, interlocking surveillance, and rhetorical platform analysis. Each methodology guides researchers and practitioners to identify and resolve different types of issues with the communication design of quantitative work, such as conflicts that emerge during the interpretive labor or how to assess and act against harmful policies that impact the data digital platforms collect and use.
