The powerful information available in large social science data sets is critical to understanding and addressing many of our nation and world’s most pressing challenges: from Covid-19 to racial, social and economic injustice; and from climate change to deep and damaging political and cultural divides.
Gathering, managing, and using social data to address critical questions requires the development of large-scale data infrastructures. In this Social Data Science Center (SoDa) panel, the distinguished speakers will share their experiences with the challenges and opportunities presented by efforts to create social data science infrastructure at the state, national, and international level.
