Session: Complexity and Method
Time: Thursday 7th July, 09:15 - 10:45
Convenor:
Dr Emma Uprichard (Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of Warwick)
Abstract Details
Since the late 1990s, a lot of work has adopted a complexity approach to study a wide range of topics across the social sciences. However, empirical applications of complexity in social science are still few and far between. This session will give some examples of some cutting edge empirical work in this area. In so doing, we will spell out some of the key methodological implications of applying complexity empirically to conduct forward facing social science research.
