Research

Our research focuses on the application of computationally intensive methods to investigate sociological and interdisciplinary issues.

We conduct interdisciplinary research on topics such as:

  • Ethnic & gender studies
  • Digital media
  • Political communication
  • Social inequalities

In doing so, we apply innovative methods:

  • Natural language processing
  • Image recognition
  • Data mining
  • Social network analysis
