From Social Science to Data Science
It is always a treat to hear from someone who is able to clearly explain complicated topics.
Dr. Bernie Hogan fits that description! Watch this interview to learn about his accessible approach to using data science in social science research. Dr. Hogan knows what he is talking about, since he developed the book and related materials for courses he’s taught at the University of Oxford’s MSc program in Social Data Science.
He wrote this book for students, practitioners, and learners with introductory-level Python skills who want to learn how to shape, clean, and analyze data, especially data from social media.
