I’m wrestling with how to put a number on fear in my historical research. What methodological tools could actually let us quantify it and trace its shifts across decades or centuries?
 In my social history dissertation, I'm examining societal fear during periods of crisis. The qualitative sources are rich, but my committee is pushing for quantitative rigor. I'm searching for methodologies that can transform expressions of fear—in texts, behavior, or material culture—into a dataset that can be analyzed for trends, peaks, and decays over long time spans.
