Overview
The 13th Annual IPSA-NUS Summer School for Social Science Research Methods will be held at the National University of Singapore from 1-12 July 2024. The summer school will offer 14 courses covering a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Details
Quantitative research methods courses include Regression Analysis, Quantitative Text Analysis I & II, Research Design in Social Science, Data Visualization, Network Analysis, Causal Mediation Analysis, Experimental Methods, Introduction to Data Science, Panel Data Analysis, Survey Research, and Applied Data Analysis. Conversely, qualitative research method courses encompass Doing Ethnography, Archival Research, and Qualitative Data Analysis I & II.
While the summer school primarily operates on-site, certain courses are also offered online due to high demand from previous methods schools. Currently, the Qualitative Data Analysis course is available in both online and in-person formats.
