Built around the entire research process with a main focus on ethics, this book equips you with scaling up your skills to successfully conduct a computation social science research project with Python.



From Social Science to Data Science is a fundamental guide to scaling up and advancing your programming skills in Python. From beginning to end, this book will enable you to understand merging, accessing, cleaning and interpreting data whilst gaining a deeper understanding of computational techniques and seeing the bigger picture. 

With key features such as tables, figures, step-by-step instruction and explanations giving a wider context, Hogan presents a clear and concise analysis of key data collection and skills in Python. 

Recenzijas

Excellent. The students will love I think. It reminds me a bit of a Andy Fields SPSS/R books, which the students have also loved in the past too. This one has that flavour but also pushes the analytics into the contemporary era with Python. I expect it will be a real success. -- Emma Uprichard

Bernie Hogan (he/him/*) is a Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute and the current Director of the University of Oxfords MSc program in Social Data Science. Bernies work specialises in how to leverage computational tools for creative, challenging, and engaging methodologies to address social science research questions about identity, sexuality, and community. His favourite work in this area focuses on the capture and analysis of personal social networks, using both pen-and-paper tools and the recent free opensource application Network Canvas (https://www.networkcanvas.com). He also has a keen interest in how language is used to either bring people together or push them apart using large scale quantitative data. He has published over 40 peer reviewed articles and presented at over a hundred conferences, including several keynotes. His most famous work reconsidered Goffmans offline stage play metaphor of self-presentation for online life (Hogan, 2010). This piece probably helped in popularising the term algorithmic curation.

Before working at the University of Oxfords Oxford Internet Institute (https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk) he completed his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Canada. His undergraduate was in Sociology and Computer Science at Memorial University in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. His graduate work was in Sociology and Knowledge Media Design at the University of Toronto. During that time Bernie interned at Microsoft Research. Bernie lives in Oxford, UK with his husband and their sprawling vinyl record collection. He tweets (and collects vinyl) under the moniker blurky because it is a very rare word that sounds like Bernie. Most of this research is available from his departmental homepage, (https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/hogan) and or/his GitHub, (https://www.github.com/berniehogan).
