Improving societies together.
Worldwide.

Understanding complex social problems is easier when data scientists, social scientists, humanists, and difference makers from outside the academy can be assembled around the same table. It also means drawing from diverse methods, theories, and perspectives. At the Cline Center for Advanced Social Research, we’re building an innovative community of scholars who not only pursue collaborative text analytics research using our data, software, and expertise, but are deeply invested in promoting societal well-being.
