Our First Essay

Published by hoytlong at 4:26 pm under Announcements

We have recently finished a preprint version of our first collaborative essay, to be published in Boundary 2 next year. You can find it in our list of publications, but we wanted to put a link upfront. The essay, “Network Analysis and the Sociology of Modernism,” provides an introduction into the kind of work we are doing and also serves as a proof-of-concept for further inquiry. We welcome any and all feedback!
