In December 2020, a group of social scientists gathered virtually at the LSE Department of Anthropology to discuss the relationship between data science and the social sciences. We all agreed on the pressing need to create space for meaningful dialogues between data science and the social sciences at a time when technical systems based on big data and machine-learning algorithms are increasingly touted as sources of ‘real-time’ and granular truth about individuals, social interactions, and the world writ-large. These dialogues are difficult to set up and sustain, not least on account of issues to do with scale and power: anthropologists and sociologists are few and far between compared to the engineers, statisticians, and computer scientists that throng contemporary governance and industry.
