Cohen is Research Assistant for this project. His interests and expertise span computational sociology, the ecological and "new institutional" traditions in organisational studies and the resource mobilisation tradition of social movement studies. To date, his work has explored how networks — both online and offline — afford Social Movement Organisations (broadly interpreted) access to information that may be used to manage uncertainty when making strategic decisions. Methodologically, he is deeply committed to statistical models for networks given their utility in tackling questions related to the constraints/benefits of actors' structural positions with respect to their behaviour.
