Patrick Davison has spent the last 10 years working to perform and support social science research on the role that new networked technologies play in organizing culture practice and everyday life. As Data & Society’s associate director of research, Davison is responsible for vetting and directing the research direction and outputs of our programmatic areas, including work on labor, so-called artificial intelligence, and community organization, as well as several external collaborations. He holds a PhD from the department of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU, where his dissertation research presented a history of the influence of 20th-century US social science on contemporary social media. He has written, researched, and supervised script production for a number of educational digital programs, including PBS’s Idea Channel and Crash Course. He lives in Virginia with his partner, children, and dog.
