Session: Exploring and modelling dynamic patterns with social science data
Time: Wednesday 4th July, 11:15 - 12:45
Convenors:
Professor Philip Haynes (University of Brighton)
Professor Brian Castellani (Kent State University, USA)
Abstract Details
Developments in methodology related to complexity and realism stress the indeterminate nature of social processes. If casual mechanisms exist, they are specific to a time and space boundary. New approaches identify the 'flows' of social patterns over time and space. This enables the theorisation of similarity and difference, as cases converge or diverge.
