NASP-CCA DAYS 2024 “Frontiers of Methods in Social and Political Science”

NASP-CCA DAYS 2024

Frontiers of Methods in Social and Political Science

The NASP-CCA workshop is jointly organised by the Collegio Carlo Alberto and the PhD programs in Economic SociologyOr-ganization and Labor Studies (ESOL) and Political Studies (POLS) at the University of Milan.

This three-day in-person workshop will expose NASP students to a range of frontier methodological approaches, including experimental and quasi-experimental approaches, qualitative and mixed-methods, and survey data research. Drawing on their own research, scholars will focus on how to go from research questions and hypotheses to selecting, and discarding, methodologies. These methodological choices will be explained in reference to a wide range of topics central to social and political sciences, such as conflict, intergroup relations, crime, political polarization, and education. NASP students are invited to present their own doctoral work and receive comments from attending scholars and students.

Student presentations will last approximately 20 minutes with 25 minutes open discussion.
