​

Under the theme of "Practices for a New Sociology," the 2024 Post-Conference Meeting provided a meaningful opportunity to explore how sociology can contribute to addressing the major social challenges and changes of our time. In particular, the conference facilitated in-depth discussions and deliberations on the direction sociology and sociology departments should take amidst the crises and transformations facing universities. Through this, the event fostered a productive platform where academic discourse and practical solutions intersected.

In a special session held on Saturday at 1 PM, participants were introduced to methods of text network analysis using NetMiner and had the opportunity to explore how to collect news data and generate AI analysis reports using News Data Collector Plus. Additionally, sociological research cases utilizing NetMiner were presented, including analysis of legislative bills and changes in the ownership structures of conglomerates.

Through this Post-Conference Meeting, NetMiner once again reaffirmed its reputation as a groundbreaking software that significantly supports education and research in the field of sociology.
