In this podcast, Professor Patrick Dunleavy talks about how big data will affect the future of the social sciences. Say goodbye to academic siloes as we enter into a new age of cross/multi/and inter-disciplines. In this changing landscape, the old boundaries between physical, social and data science disintegrate.
