This project seeks to make a foundational methodological contribution to the analysis of big data for development studies.
Big data has revolutionised the natural sciences (and commerce), however its use within development studies has been comparatively limited. This is despite a clear potential for devising innovative research methodologies to generate new academic knowledge, theory, and empirical insights of practical relevance to the broad field of international development and humanitarian policy, programming, and action.
