What do you do with Data Science?

With regards to teaching, I teach a YData connector course called “YData: Measuring Culture”. It covers ways to analyze and understand culture using computational methods and digital data. With regards to research, I use computational techniques and social media and administrative data to measure and analyze aspects of culture, then use these results in broader sociological research. This work has appeared in journals like American Sociological Review, Sociological Methodology, and Poetics. (I am also currently a consulting editor at American Journal of Sociology, focusing on computational research.) Moving forward, I would like to develop my use of image and video analysis and causal inference using machine learning. I would also like to begin research collaborations with faculty in other departments.
