About the course
Aim
After completing the course, the advanced level student should be able to:
- conduct a critical analysis of contemporary issues in computational social sciences from methodological and theoretical perspectives
- critically analyze specific problems in computational social sciences and propose alternative theoretical and empirical approaches
- connect current research questions to specific scientific discussions and research literature in the field of computational social sciences
Content
This course develops knowledge of computational and quantitative approaches to contemporary social scientific research problems. This is accomplished through the presentation and critical discussion of ongoing and novel research. Central themes of the course concern the application of theories and concepts to the study of issues in social scientific research; the measurement of phenomena and behaviors at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of social organization; and the use of different computational approaches and methods for concrete empirical investigations into social processes.
