DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces Hogan’s book From Social Science to Dat
 a Science. Superficially\, the book describes key skills for manipulating 
 data in Python. Yet the book departs from a computer science textbook and 
 towards social data science as a paradigm in its own right. It does this b
 y framing coding as a reflexive practice for considering how we measure an
 d structure the world\, learning who gets to measure\, and assessing what 
 scales work for what kind of measurement. Such a framing opens a space for
  both qualitative and quantitative work in SDS given its newfound episteme
 logical rather than methodological focus.\n\nAt the same time\, such a foc
 us helps us appreciate (social) data science’s distinctiveness from econ
 ometrics\, statistics\, computer science\, and analytic or mathematical so
 ciology. Thus\, the talk concludes by reflecting on the potential for soci
 al data science to be considered an academic discipline rather than mere p
 ractice. \nSpeakers:\nDr Bernie Hogan (Oxford Internet Institute)
