Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPete Jones is a quantitatively trained social scientist and independent contractor with nine years’ experience applying network methods to study gender inequities in the film industry. He holds a PhD in Social Statistics from the University of Manchester and has held postdoctoral roles and research fellowships focused on modelling the impact of gender equity policies. Pete blends rigorous statistical and social network analysis with digital humanities approaches to represent narrative texts as data, producing policy-relevant insights for academic and institutional partners. He continues freelance research with the CARD lab and Kinomatics at the University of Alberta while based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and is open to remote collaborations. Less obvious: he channels his research code and projects through alternative code hosting (Codeberg), signalling a preference for decentralized or privacy-conscious tooling. His work bridges cultural industries, post‑feminist media studies, and applied quantitative methods to expose structural biases and inform equity interventions.
