How the Data Boom Is Transforming the Social Sciences
Yale News examines how the explosion of available data is reshaping research across the social sciences. Scholars increasingly rely on large datasets and computational methods to study human behaviour, changing how economics, political science and sociology are practised and taught. The piece reflects a wider debate in academia about the opportunities of big data alongside concerns over methodology, privacy and the reliability of new data-driven findings.
Why now: Growing use of big data and computational methods in academic research is prompting discussion about how the social sciences should adapt.
