Dear Colleagues,
We would appreciate if you circulate the following announcement regarding the 2020 ICPSR Summer Workshops at the Hobby School of Public Affairs.
The Hobby School of Public Affairs will serve as a host of the 2020 Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research of the Inter-University Consortium of Political and Social Research (ICPSR). ICPSR was launched in 1962 as a national initiative for training social scientists in research methods, including mathematical modeling, statistics, data analytics, and experimental design.
ICPSR is hosted at the University of Michigan, and runs its flagship Summer Program in Ann Arbor. The Hobby School joins a selective group of academic institutions in the ICPSR network offering summer training workshops. Other hosts of these workshops include the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, University of California at Berkeley, Indiana University at Bloomington, University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ICPSR also has three international partners: University of Glasgow, Scotland; University of St. Gallen, Switzerland; and York University, Toronto, Canada.
These workshops aim at training students and professionals in the analytical tools and software used in the analysis of data in the social sciences. The Hobby School will offer five short workshops this summer.
1. Introduction to R, Prof. Ryan Kennedy, three-day workshop, May 13-15
2. Multilevel Analysis, Prof. Ling Zhu, three-day workshop, May 13-15

The workshops meet daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and include lectures and hands-on lab training on the applications learned in class.
