We hope to resume the Arizona Methods Workshops in 2024-25. Information about past workshops can be found below.
About the Methods Workshops
The Arizona Methods Workshops are hosted by the School of Sociology at the University of Arizona. The goal of the event is to share the methodological expertise of our school, college, and discipline with the wider community of social scientists. Topics and instructors vary from year to year but include quantitative, computational, and qualitative offerings. The workshops are small and offer time for practical, hands-on work. The atmosphere is informal and is enhanced by optional social events (lunch, happy hour, pre-workshop lecture) that allow participants, instructors, as well as UA Sociology faculty and students time to mingle.
