Jim Bisbee is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Data Science at Vanderbilt University who applies nine years of interdisciplinary experience to studying political behavior and discourse across platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, 4Chan, and 8Chan. His work blends computational methods and social science theory, drawing on a PhD from NYU and postdoctoral research at the Center for Social Media and Politics to map how fringe and mainstream online spaces interact.
