About me
Key features include: glasses, books, face.
Once a mild-mannered media theorist, one day James got bored, taught himself to code and transformed into a computational sociologist. It only hurt a little bit
I have a background in studying digital cultures, media theory and the intersection of society and technology. These days I spend much of my research time either...
- Building software tools to extract new and interesting datasets, and custom analysis tools to explore them.
- Studying illicit and extremist online cultures.
You can read more about my research as it happens via the blog.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and The Higher Education Academy.
Human information
If I'm not doing any of the above I like to spend my time with Sim/strategy games, watching kids films with my kids, and reading cosmic horror because ultimately reality is a vast indifferent force to which humans mean nothing.
I also like rabbits.
