The Geography of Hate is part of a larger project by Dr. Monica Stephens
of Humboldt State University (HSU) identifying the geographic origins
of online hate speech. Undergraduate students Amelia Egle, Matthew
Eiben and Miles Ross, worked to produce the data and this map as part of
Dr. Stephens' Advanced Cartography course at Humboldt State University.
The data behind this map is based on every geocoded tweet in the
United States from June 2012 - April 2013 containing one of the 'hate
words'. This equated to over 150,000 tweets and was drawn from the
DOLLY project based at the University of Kentucky. Because algorithmic
sentiment analysis would automatically classify any tweet containing
'hate words' as "negative," this project relied upon the HSU students to
read the entirety of tweet and classify it as positive, neutral or
negative based on a predefined rubric. Only those tweets that were
identified by human readers as negative were used in this analysis.
