I do this in service to the study of religious behaviors and cultural systems. So I am interested in systems-level study of cultural and social dynamics that facilitate transmission of cultural resources. It forces humanists to think about the mathematics of cultural dynamics, quantification of qualitative changes, etc. I am interested in the kinds of blow-back one can get from humanists who claim this is not the important thing humanists should be studying and that it is reductionistic towards the qualitative changes culture exercises on culture possessors, culture curators/elites, or students of culture who “should” expect to be enlightened by interpretive exercises rather than being turned into “bean-counters”.

I would be happy to talk a bit about coding, the difference between coding and markup, current projects I am working on, etc.
