[Air-L] literature on theory and big data in social sciences

Hello all,

I'm very interested in reading the article “Commentary: What Does a Critical
Data Studies Look Like, and Why Do We Care? Seven Points for a Critical
Approach to ‘big Data'" but the web page is inaccessible to me. Google led
me to this:

https://www.countercartographies.org/critical-data-studies-look-like/

But the link from there still doesn't work. Assuming it's supposed to be
open access, does anybody have a copy?

By the way, I'm so happy about this thread! I wasn't aware of how many
social sci/humanities scholars have been working on data and the "end of
theory" (scare quotes necessary as far as I'm concerned).

Regards,

Emma
