Thank you, Ella 🙏🏻

Thank you to ENOC and the colleague who nominated me! It’s very motivating, and I look forward to getting more criminologists excited about open science.

We are thrilled to be able to bring together esteemed colleagues from different disciplines: Atte Oksanen, Olivia Brown, Darja Wischerath, Stephane Baele, Javier Torregrosa, Charlie Stoeldraaijers, @joncollins.bsky.social, @lizzypearson.bsky.social, Harley Williamson, Miriam Fernandez and Maria Vau

Do you have suggestions for what should be included (or avoided) in a good methods handbook? Let us know! (3/4)

The book will be a resource for anyone who wants to extend their methods tool box, covering a wide range of quantitative and qualitative approaches as well as introducing key challenges that scholars in this field must address (e.g.,documenting causality, dealing with too low data volumes). (2/4)

@vox-pol.bsky.social - it would be great if you were able to share this call.

@oii.ox.ac.uk - it would be great if you were able to share this call with your students.

More information is here: www.ucl.ac.uk/security-cri... - my project is „Talk is Cheap? Assessing how extremist content online can promote violence offline“. If you have questions, get in touch. And please share this information with your students!

Studentship funding is available for UK home students. I am looking for a motivated candidate with a social science background who is confident in developing advanced computational skills (I.e., computational linguistic analysis, agent based modeling).
