MoDS: Mapping Knowledge with Data Science

I’m really excited to announce the latest addition to our department’s growing stable of computational geography research: a fully-funded 1+3 ESRC CASE studentship involving the application of data science techniques (text-mining, topic modelling, graph analysis) to a large, rich data set of 450,000+ PhD theses in order to understand the evolving geography of academic knowledge production: how are groundbreaking ideas produced and circulated, and how does researcher mobility and institutional capacity shape this process?
