What We Do
Society generates, and is shaped by, more data than ever before. This creates the opportunity to study human nature and society in new ways. Nearly every field of social science stands to be transformed by data. Example research questions include:
- How does information spread on social media?
- How can we create innovative teams of people?
- How is new technology shaping the economy?
- How do people organize around political issues?
