[SICSS-SG] Alvin Zhou: We Are Computational Storytellers
Показать описание
Speaker: Dr Alvin Zhou, University of Minnesota Twin Cities
Instead of blindly applying computational methods to social data, computational social scientists should forge synergy between question, data, and method to create a research design that tells a compelling story. The talk will introduce three case studies, discuss some behind-the-scene thinking processes, and explore how CSS projects — starting with an interesting research question, or some invaluable data, or an innovative methodological framework — can forge synergy between the three elements to create a research design that tells an engaging social science story.
