Biography

Marc Keuschnigg is a Professor at Linköping University and an analytical sociologist.

He is a member of the steering group of the Swedish Excellence Center for Computational Science and has served as Vice-President of the International Network of Analytical Sociology, as well as being an elected fellow of the European Academy of Sociology. He leads research groups focused on text analysis and the dynamics of public discourse. His work has received substantial funding from the Swedish Research Council to develop machine-learning applications for large-scale text analysis in sociology.
