[DataAnalyticsMAProgram 0283] RetroGameCon Research Panel
by Kristie Lucking 10 Aug '25

10 Aug '25

Hello! For those who don’t know me, I graduated from QC in 2013 (M.A. in Data Analytics & Applied Social Research; I also earned my B.A. in Sociology from QC). When I was a kid, my mother used to bring me to QC’s daycare while she attended class… I guess I was always meant to go to college there! After graduating, I’ve worked in institutional research, huge market research firms, in housing policy research, in aerospace, in mobile games, and am now a gaming entrepreneur building cross-platform games and software, as well as, consulting… So, yup, the QC analytics & research degree is versatile and can literally bring you WHEREVER you want to go. Anyway, I wanted to reach out to this group because I’ve had a very unique (and awesome) opportunity come my way. I’ve been invited to present some of my research at RetroGameCon, NYS’s largest gaming convention! While reflecting on my previous experience of presenting my research at the Eastern Sociological Society’s conference alongside my mentor and friend, Professor Weinberg, as well as, running into Professor Rhindress unexpectedly at a conference in Florida while I was working for a NYC government housing agency, I figured I might as well reach out to see if anyone will be at RGC and wants to stop by and say ‘hi’. I’m on LinkedIn under my married name (Kristie Matthews), and have also sent this email to my current email (Kristie.S.Matthews(a)outlook.com) for anyone who wants to connect. I wanted to say a quick thanks to the entire Sociology department and especially to Professor Weinberg, Professor Rhindress, Professor Rosales, Professor Reed, and Professor Turner for their continued support for me, as well as, for the thousands of lives they’ve guided over the years. Best, Kristie Matthews

[DataAnalyticsMAProgram 0276] Stack Overflow Developer Surveys
by Peter Ore 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

If you're like me, you often wonder how analysts and other developers do their work. What kinds of software environments, IDEs, and AI platforms are people using, and how? While not strictly about data analytics and probably not representative in any case*, the Stack Overflow developer surveys provide a suggestive picture of the state of the field. 2024 results are here<https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/>. 2025 results are imminent. Happy summer, all. * Their "methodology" section is woefully inadequate, especially on sampling and recruitment procedures. They should hire some sociologists next time...
