QUALITATIVE METHODS WORKING GROUP AT APSA 2008:

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE TOOLS

 

As noted on the APSA webpage at http://www.apsanet.org/section_584.cfm, APSA is again offering opportunities for focused scholarly interaction at its annual meeting: working groups that bring together scholars who commit to attending a specified number of panels in a given area of inquiry, in combination with short courses in that same area.

 

For APSA 2008, our section is sponsoring a working group on methodology, covering new perspectives on qualitative and quantitative tools. Through this group the section seeks to make its panels and short courses more valuable to participants in the meeting by providing continuity, coordination and shared dialogue. The working group will also convene during the APSA Meeting for a general discussion, most likely at 4.15pm on Friday August 29.

APSA will provide certificates of recognition to those who participate fully in the working group. Participants in the working group will attend: (a) 2 short courses and 5 panels; or (b) 1 short course and 7 panels; or (c) 9 panels. The list of eligible short courses and panels will be distributed closer to the meetings.

 

There is no fee to join the working group.

 

APSA manages registration for the working groups centrally. Please use the form on the APSA website at: http://www.apsanet.org/content_28863.cfm If you have any difficulty registering, please email consortium@asu.edu.
