Hi there,
Glad to hear you are interested! There are many places to start, but based on your interests I would highly recommend investigating Agent Based Social Simulation, and more generally Agent Based Modelling (ABM).
There are plenty of other areas in the broad field of computational sociology, but ABM is quite an exciting paradigm.
Joshua Epstein has been working in this field for decades, and has published widely cited work in ABM for social science. See for example:
http://www.amazon.com/Generative-Social-Science-Agent-Based-Computational/dp/0691125473
This text by Gilbert and Troitzsch is also used quite a lot in undergrad and postgrad studies: http://www.amazon.com/Simulation-Social-Scientist-Nigel-Gilbert/dp/0335216005/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425271219&sr=1-2
I have posted this in the thread so others might have a chance to investigate this literature, but please also feel free to PM if you have any specific ideas or questions.
