although it is less on social sciences, our edited volume The Datafied Society. Studying Culture through Data does address data and datapractices, but then in the humanities. There are also chapters on the ethical challenges for research integrity. It is available as free download: http://mtschaefer.net/entry/datafied-society/ Cheers, mirko ________________________________ From: Emma Stamm [stamm@vt.edu] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2017 3:46 PM To: Schaefer, M.T.

Seven Points for a Critical Approach to ‘big Data'" but the web page is inaccessible to me. Google led me to this: https://www.countercartographies.org/critical-data-studies-look-like/ But the link from there still doesn't work. Assuming it's supposed to be open access, does anybody have a copy? By the way, I'm so happy about this thread! I wasn't aware of how many social sci/humanities scholars have been working on data and the "end of theory" (scare quotes necessary as far as I'm concerned).

Dear researchers of the Internet,
I'm looking for literature that deals with the relations between theory and method in the social sciences in an age of big data and the supposed 'end of theory'. Data is increasingly likely to be a starting point for social scientists investigating the digital world, but what does this mean for theory, method and the relations between them?
Any information and literature would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance!
