Event overview
A one-day seminar/workshop on the challenge of Big Data, organised in collaboration with Dr Emma Uprichard, Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of Warwick and Dr Abby Day, Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths.
The Government White Paper on Open Data and the Finch Report on Open Access to Research publications were both published in June 2012, inaugurating a discussion about the changing nature of social science research and its role in the evaluation of policy and practice. Administrative data and its linkage to other large data sets, data mining, and the increased proprietorial interest in large data all pose a fundamental challenge for the social sciences to confront big data with big questions.
This joint event of the British Library and the British Sociological Association uses a workshop format to address these issues.
Dr Evelyn Ruppert, from the Department of Sociology will also be speaking.
