AMCIS PhD Methods Workshop
"Longitudinal Data Analysis. Where to start and where to end? Event History Analysis and Sequence Analysis"
Date and Time: October 21, 2011 (9:30 - 14:15)
Location: Nieuwe Prinsengracht 130, Room GS28b (G building)
The workshop will be jointly taught by Daniela Grunow (Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam) and Silke Aisenbrey (Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yeshiva University, NY).
This one-day workshop is to introduce graduate students to longitudinal data analysis. The aim is to expose students to the different theoretical roots of several methodologies for analyzing quantitative data, with a special focus on longitudinal data analysis. By this approach we intend to help students to move a sociological question towards a plan for analyzing data. We will talk about different sociological questions that can be attempted to answer with different methods and how data has to look like to answer these questions. We encourage students to bring their own ideas about projects and possibly their data to the workshop. These ideas can be very preliminary. This one-day workshop focuses on conceptual issues, not on programming.
To sign up for the workshop please email Valentina Di Stasio at v.distasio@uva.nl.
Please send Valentina Di Stasio a few lines indicating your area of research, whether you have already been using longitudinal data analysis (or what you intend to use it for), and if there are any particular topics that you would like to see addressed in the course. This will help the lecturers to tailor the workshop to our research interests. Importantly, the workshop is intended for beginners, and does not presuppose any previous knowledge of or experience with longitudinal data analysis.
