Partnering with Researchers & Analysts

You’re asking complex questions — and your work deserves tools and collaboration that make those questions clearer, the answers stronger, and the insights easier to share.

At ASA 2025, we’re all thinking about how work is changing.
I’m here to explore how data science can serve sociology — not replace it.

💡 How I Can Support Your Research

I help researchers, sociologists, and analysts:

Clean and integrate messy public datasets
Visualize findings ethically with Tufte-inspired clarity
Combine social theory with data for deeper insight
Bridge academic work with applied outcomes in policy, community, or organizational contexts

🛠️ What We Can Do Together

Projects I support include:

Mixed-method analysis that combines qualitative depth with quantitative patterns
Public datasets exploration (Census, BLS, municipal data) for sociological studies
Interactive dashboards and static visuals that respect the complexity behind the numbers
Data ethics consultations for AI, automation, or sensitive population studies
Grant support with data storytelling that resonates with reviewers

🌐 Publishing Without Gatekeepers

Academic publishing can often feel like an exclusive circle — where established voices dominate and new ideas face steep barriers. Yet, students, early-career scholars, and even entire departments have important contributions to share. Modern tools for building websites and online communities offer a way to publish openly, share research widely, and create spaces that bypass traditional gatekeeping.

Our Website Starter Kit helps individuals and groups create professional sites quickly, while the Community Builder provides tools to grow interactive networks and discussions. Together, they empower academics to present their work on their own terms — accessible, interactive, and visible to a broader audience.

📈 Tools and Methods That Work for You

I use a blend of modern tools with a sociologist’s lens:

Python / R / SQL for analysis and modeling
Power BI for clear, interactive dashboards
Geospatial and network analysis for community and labor studies
Text mining to make sense of open-ended data
Ethical data practices grounded in human-centered values

My goal: help you do your research — with clarity, integrity, and real-world impact.

📚 Data Sources You Can Leverage

Great insights start with good data.
I work with a range of public and institutional datasets that are highly relevant to sociological research, including:

🏛️ U.S. Census Bureau (ACS, PUMS, neighborhood-level data)
📊 Bureau of Labor Statistics (employment trends, industry analysis)
🌐 data.gov and state/local open data portals
🏥 Nonprofit and foundation datasets (grant impact, program participation)
🕸️ Web-scraped sources (policy documents, media content, advocacy data — ethically collected)
🧾 Custom survey data integrated with public datasets for richer analysis

I also help combine disparate sources — connecting local, national, and qualitative data into coherent research-ready datasets.
