Comparative-Historical Sociology and Computational Social Science
Sat, August 8, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
Description: This session explores the intersections between comparative-historical sociology and computational social science. How are new data sources and analytical techniques reshaping the questions we ask and the answers we find? We welcome papers that successfully apply computational methods, but also those that look more critically at these new tools and their impact on the field. By bringing together methodologically innovative and theoretically reflective work, the session seeks to foster dialogue about how computational approaches can contribute to the core aims of comparative-historical research.
