Q&A with Kiyoteru Tsutsui

Where do you see the political sociology subfield heading? What do you think are some of the key ways you can that political sociology can contribute to current academic and public debates?

There are some exciting methodological innovations in computational social science that political sociologists should take advantage of. Political scientists seem to have the edge right now but we can still catch up and offer interesting and innovative analyses that shed new light on political debates of our time, using big data, computational text analysis, survey experiments, field experiments, etc.
