ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE, TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY
Since the establishment of the Tsinghua School (Xuetang) in 1911, courses in political science and economics were offered. In 1925, the school launched its four-year undergraduate program. The Departments of sociology, political science, economics and educational psychology were among the seventeen first founded departments in 1926. In 1928, the authorities officially changed the name to National Tsinghua University, and established fifteen departments in the School of Liberal Arts, the School of Science and the School of Law. The Department of Sociology was in the School of Liberal Arts; the Department of Psychology was in the School of Science; and the Departments of Political Science and Economics in the School of Law.
The study of social science at Tsinghua University has a long tradition of promoting interaction between Chinese and Western cultures and encouraging interdisciplinary communications between the Arts and the Sciences. Advocating for the application modern science methodologies in exploring political, economic and social phenomena, we learned from studies in foreign countries and followed international academic standards, with an emphasis on understanding current realistic problems in China. Founded on the ultimate goal to support the independent academic development of the nation and the construction of a new China, the school has made significant achievements in nurturing students and research.
Many world-class scholars and social activists taught or studied in Tsinghua’s social science departments, including Fei Xiaotong（Fei Hsiao-Tung）, Chen Daisun, Zhang Xiruo, Pan Guangdan, Qian Duansheng（Ch'ien Tuan-Sheng), Xiao Gongquan, Wang Tieya, Wang Yanan, Chen Da, Zhu Junyi, Wu Qiyuan, Zhao Yuanren（Chao Yuen Ren), Dai Shiguang, Xiao Qu, Wu Jingchao, Li Jinghan, Chen Tiqiang, and Tang Yue. They were pioneers of all Tsinghua faculties and students in social sciences disciplines who contributed to modern political and economical revival and social construction of China.
In 1952, a nationwide restructuring of institutes of higher education began, and Tsinghua University became a multidisciplinary polytechnic university specializing in training engineers. Social science departments in Tsinghua University were shut down and faculties and students in the field left for other universities or institutions. Since 1978, however, Tsinghua University has strengthened its teaching in the sciences, economic management, humanities and law fields. Resuscitating its studies and research in social science disciplines, the Department of Social Science was rebuilt in 1984 and School of Humanities and Social Sciences was rebuilt in 1993, which included the Department of Philosophy and Sociology, Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Department of History, the Institute of Ideology and Culture, the Institute of Science, Technology and Society, the Institute of Economics, the Institute of Education, and the Institute of Art Education. In 1997, the Institute of international studies was set up. In 2000, the Department of Sociology and Department of Political Science were re-established. Finally, in 2008, the Department of Psychology was re-established. 
In 2012, the first year after the centenary anniversary of Tsinghua University, the School of Humanities and the School of Social Sciences were founded separately on the basis of the original School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The School of Social Sciences includes the Department of Political Science, Department of International Relations, Department of Sociology, Department of Psychology, Institute of Economics . The School aims to meet the academic frontiers of the world and the strategic demands of our nation, and tries its best to attain new achievements in social sciences at Tsinghua University.

ABOUT THE CENTER FOR SOCIAL NETWORK RESEARCH  
The Tsinghua Center for Social Network Research was founded on Jan. 1st 2013. As a Tsinghua University research center, its purpose is to develop a platform for cooperation among physicists, computer scientists, and social, behavioral and epidemiology researchers, so that they can explore a set of interdisciplinary methodological approaches for studying complex social networks in big data.
Big data brings a lot of opportunities and challenges for interdisciplinary research: Various domains of knowledge have developed and accumulated a large body of hypotheses, models and empirical findings on the structure, dynamic processes, and consequences of social networks.
In order to arrive at a consensus we first need to create a methodological framework that takes data mining as its starting point. The object of research is online big data, which has the untapped potential to yield findings about new social phenomena. The next step is interpreting these findings through various qualitative and survey studies, which will further help us reveal grounded truth to verify theoretical hypotheses. The final step is building a model that encompasses the co-evolution of human actions and network structure based on the operative theories. With a model built on this solid foundation, researchers trained with interdisciplinary methods have the required information to predict new facts from their results.
Running in parallel to our research are real-world surveys that often generate new facts that conflict with our interpretation of the results of data mining. In this kind of scenario, we must return to our data and begin an iterative process of data mining, theory development and dynamic model building; until we can reconcile the two sets of results.
The goal of TCSNR is to develop a series of programs for training students with different research backgrounds, and mesh their different areas of expertise into a methodologically and substantively integrated whole. From this interdisciplinary training method we can expect new results and considerable progress in social network research.

James A. Evans

Professor Department of Sociology The University of Chicago
My research focuses on the collective system of thinking and knowing, ranging from the distribution of attention and intuition, the origin of ideas and shared habits of reasoning to processes of agreement (and dispute), accumulation of certainty (and doubt), and the texture—novelty, ambiguity, topology—of understanding. I am especially interested in innovation—how new ideas and practices emerge—and the role that social and technical institutions (e.g., the Internet, markets, collaborations) play in collective cognition and discovery. Much of my work has focused on areas of modern science and technology, but I am also interested in other domains of knowledge—news, law, religion, gossip, hunches, machine and historical modes of thinking and knowing. I support the creation of novel observatories for human understanding and action through crowd sourcing, information extraction from text and images, and the use of distributed sensors (e.g., RFID tags, cell phones). I use machine learning, generative modeling, social and semantic network representations to explore knowledge processes, scale up interpretive and field-methods, and create alternatives to current discovery regimes. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Air Force office of Science Research, and many philanthropic sources, and has been published in Nature, Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Social Studies of Science, Research Policy, Critical Theory, Administrative Science Quarterly, and other outlets. My work has been featured in the Economist, Atlantic Monthly, Wired, NPR, BBC, El País, CNN, Le Monde, and many other outlets.
At Chicago, I am Director of Knowledge Lab, which has collaborative, granting and employment opportunities, as well as ongoing seminars. I also founded and now direct on the Computational Social Science program at Chicago, and sponsor an associated Computational Social Science workshop. I teach courses in augmented intelligence, the history of modern science, science studies, computational content analysis, and Internet and Society. Before Chicago, I received my doctorate in sociology from Stanford University, served as a research associate in the Negotiation, Organizations, and Markets group at Harvard Business School, started a private high school focused on project-based arts education, and completed a B. A. in Anthropology at Brigham Young University.
