About Darren Kwong

I am a Doctoral Candidate of Sociology at The Graduate Center, CUNY. My research interests center on the cultural analysis of protest and activism and big data. My current project explores how stories and expressions are shared across social media networks. Additionally, I am researching the effects of education and personal background on academic success in early childhood.

I received my B.A. in Political Science from Vassar College and M.Phil. in Sociology from The CUNY Graduate Center. Currently, I am the Project Coordinator and Research Assistant of the CUNY Data Mining Initiative. I am also a Quantitative Reasoning Fellow at Hostos Community College.

On this website, you can download my C/V. I might start blogging on this website at some point, but at the moment I’m more likely to use existing outlets for discussion. I welcome new voices, so feel free to email me.
