Variations in the Temporal Structure of Sociability across American Cities
Though sociologists have been interested in how temporal patterns of sociability vary in urban contexts, the study of city-level dynamics at short timescales has been challenging historically. Social media and new computational methods provide a solution. Our study clusters cities using sociality as a metric. We collected three months of social media data to investigate variation in the temporal structure of sociability across American cities. We…

This article seeks to understand whether these presentations of self tend to be more egocentric, negative/positive, gendered, or communal…
Urban Social Media Demographics

Given recent events in American political life such as the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri and the reactions by young, urban African Americans on Twitter, understanding the role of race, place, gender, and age is important…
