Although I majored in CS, talking a political science course in college made me realize that having some fundamental knowledge of data science, statistics and, in general, effective 'data crunching' habilities (call it numpy, matlab, whatever) is probably pretty useful for empirical sociological/anthropological research. So there's definitely some overlap between your CS skill set and knowledge that might help you in the humanities, I would even say that it gives you some kind of leverage to differentiate from the majority, if you play your cards well.
Have a look at this paper, for example, it really made me think of how interesting it is to ask what implications technological change has in societies: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-s...
It talks about what consequences the increased cellphone coverage in Africa could have related to acts of political violence. |
