I'm in a well regarded sociology department and there's a huge gap between the sociologists who take technical things seriously (programming, stats) and those who don't. People have actually rolled their eyes in classes when we read papers about simulations. I was lucky: we have a core group of students who program and gather data using modern tools, but I gather this is rare both within my discipline and without.

That's a real shame, data science will hopefully cut through the theoretical BS that are the results of so many social science thesis'.
