Formal Models and Methods for the Study of Culture and Meaning (Co-sponsored by Sociology of Culture Section)

Mon, August 10, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

This session highlights current research at the intersection of culture and sociology, drawing on a rich history of formal and computational approaches in both fields. The session is open to papers that employ mathematical and computational methods to analyze culture and meaning. Papers may use a diverse range of techniques, including network analysis, agent-based modeling, computational text analysis, and formal models of cultural evolution and belief change. Additionally, papers may also explore connections between micro-level interactions, sentiments, and beliefs, and macro-level cultural patterns. This addresses fundamental sociological questions about how culture evolves, the influence of cultural factors on social action, and the social construction of meaning.
