Curious what patterns you find. Reply or re-post with what stands out, interested to revisit the data... new threads to tug on could help inform a blog post or paper. #SexWorkResearch #DataViz #AcademicSky 3/3

Most respondents buy locally (dashed rings). The city-to-city flows are where it gets interesting: regional clusters, asymmetric travel, patterns that don't track population. Filter by venue, sexuality, age, buyer experience. For research and policy, not enforcement. 2/3

In 2014–15, Chris Atchison's S3 study at UVic surveyed 1,133 people who buy sexual services in Canada — then the largest voluntary sample of its kind. The mobility data stuck with me. Never became a paper. So I rebuilt it as an interactive map: sociologix.ca/canada-clients 1/3

Screenshot of the Client Mobility Network from sociologix.ca, showing [cities visible — e.g., "Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, and smaller regional centres"] as nodes on a dark-background map of Canada. Lines between nodes show movement between where respondents live and where they most often buy sexual services. Brightest nodes — [name them] — indicate the highest purchasing activity. Several nodes carry dashed rings marking in-city purchasing. Edges taper from thin at origin to thick at destination. [Note any prominent visible flows.] Filters for venue, sexuality, age, and buyer experience appear in the side panel, with a per-capita toggle currently [on/off].

I’ve created this starter pack of sex workers’ rights & anti-trafficking activists, researchers, & journalists! Please comment anyone else I should include. go.bsky.app/U736K8k

Under the hood: bibliographic data from #OpenAlex, then an NLP pipeline cleans records, extracts studied populations and locations from abstracts, and tags clusters with topical labels.

This is a pilot. I'm building custom literature networks and NLP-driven research tools for academic, NGO, and policy contexts. DM me if you want one for your field, or have ideas to refine this one. sociologix.ca/sex-lit-netw... #SexWorkResearch #Sociology #AcademicSky 3/3

Instead of searching in isolation: - trace co-authorship networks and topic clusters - surface adjacent literatures you wouldn't think to search - filter by population, country, document type - access open versions where available Each cluster is labeled, see the field at a glance. 2/3

Most literature search tools make you guess the right keyword. This one lets you follow the research. The Sex Industry Research Network: a free, interactive map of global research on sex work, sex industries, and trafficking. 47,880 papers · 62,296 authors · 178,577 connections 1/3

Screenshot of the Sex Industry Research Networks tool from sociologix.ca. The header shows a search bar with the query "clients" and filter chips for "clients" and "8 doc types." Below is a dark-background network graph of researchers shown as colored nodes connected by curving lines, with larger nodes labeled by name. Visible cluster labels include "Injecting Drug Use / Hiv Risk Practices," "Condom Promotion / African Prostitutes," "Seronegative Prostitutes / Mucosal Immunity," and "Sexual Histories." A toggle at the bottom-left shows "Author" and "2 Degree" selected. Bottom navigation shows Stats, Legend, Settings, and Share.

Also a builder of small tools, digital and otherwise: a gluten-free receipt scanner, a climbing achievements tracker, a slab desk, a literature graph that doesn't make you guess the keyword. Posts on research, methods, and what gets built when sociology meets code.

Hi... I'm Patrick, an independent sociologist and applied data scientist in British Columbia, Canada. I build NLP and network tools for academic, NGO, and policy contexts. Work spans violence against sex workers, academic labour markets, and ethical ML. #introduction #AcademicSky
