ICPSR is pleased to announce the 2011 Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research with workshops and lectures on a wide variety of topics in research design, quantitative reasoning, statistical methods, and data processing.
The First Session: June 20, 2011 to July 15, 2011 (location = Ann Arbor, MI)
Second Session: July 18, 2011 to August 12, 2011 (location = Ann Arbor, MI)
Three to Five Day workshops on both statistical and substantive topics: various dates throughout the summer.
Location: most of these shorter workshops will take place in Ann Arbor, but there are several that will be held in other locations: Amherst, MA; Bloomington, IN; Chapel Hill, NC; and (for the first time) Berkeley, CA.
Registration, fee structure, and further information about the ICPSR Summer Program are all available on our web site.
