SHUM 4709
Modeling between Numbers and Stories

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course compares narrative method and statistical modeling historically, teaching the history of predictive data techniques from the 19th century to the present while reading short-form literature - Aesop, Gogol, Dickinson - to compare the stories the numbers tell to narrative itself. The intent is to illuminate the rhetorical forms that prediction uses while studying the development of its quantitative techniques.
