"As a #quantitative #socialscientist who has studied #religious change in modern societies for more than 25 years, I’m surprised – and sceptical. I do not doubt that the #BibleSociety acted in good faith, but they haven’t engaged with the mountain of #evidence, some of it very recent, pointing to #religiousdecline.

Is there really a #religiousrevival in England? Why I’m sceptical of a new report

So, mastodon is making me a nervous noob on the internet. For some peculiar reason, here I feel I have to say something of substance and somehow this increases the threshold to actually post anything. I thought more space and a more civilized conversation would be liberating but it is petrifying.

Hi everyone! 🖖

I'm a #socialscientist interested in #socialinequalities. I concentrated on #bigdata and #algorithmicbias in my master's thesis.

I'm working for a research company as a qualitative data analyst.

I used to work on #genderstudies, especially #queertheory. I have a publication about #dragperformances and used MaxQDA for the analysis. https://doi.org/10.33708/ktc.1172297

Outside of my professional life, I'm passionate about #scifi, #fantasyliterature #horrornarratives, and #roleplayinggames.

Time for an #introduction:

I’m a #SocialScientist interested in #SurveyMethodology and #PoliticalSociology. My research is on the design of #Surveys and #SurveyQuestions, #DataQuality, and the study of political attitudes and behaviors.

Currently, I work as a senior researcher for the German Longitudinal Election Study @gles at the Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences @GESIS.

My further interests include #Blues, #Rock, and #Metal music, #Cycling, and exiting #Wine from around the world.
