Not ready to throw in the towel yet: Thoughts on Big Data, digital social research, and academia
(Not the future, merely the Gladstone Link) Full disclosure: This was written for a ‘position paper’ assignment in my Digital Social Research course at the OII.

I skim through course listings and would mix and match from multiple universities if I had a private jet to takeContinueContinue reading “I’ll take a microchip instead”
