WG: CfP RC33 2016, Session "Measuring social structure in surveys"
by Schneider, Silke 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, der CfP wurde wie einigen von Ihnen sicher schon bekannt auf den 21.2.2016 verlängert. Auch für diese Session würden wir uns über weitere Einreichungen (und Weiterleitung des CfP) freuen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Silke Schneider Von: Schneider, Silke Gesendet: Montag, 16. November 2015 16:39 An: methoden(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Cc: 'Harrison, Eric' Betreff: CfP RC33 2016, Session "Measuring social structure in surveys" ***apologies for cross-postings*** Dear colleagues, we are looking forward to your abstract submission for the session "Measuring social structure in surveys" at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology (RC33 Conference 2016) in Leicester, UK 11-16 September 2016 Session Organizers: * Silke Schneider, silke.schneider(a)gesis.org<mailto:silke.schneider@gesis.org>, Senior Researcher and Consultant, Department Survey Design and Methodology, GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Mannheim, Germany * Eric Harrison, Eric.Harrison.2(a)city.ac.uk<mailto:Eric.Harrison.2@city.ac.uk>, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Sociology, Centre for Comparative Social Surveys, City University London, UK Session Abstract: The individuals’ position in in the social structure of a society is characterised by a number of concepts, such as socio-economic status, social class, educational attainment, employment status, ethnicity, migration background, marital status, and last but not least age and sex. Some of these are the most used variables in survey based research. Given that for most researchers these are ‘only’ control variables, they are often referred to as ‘background variables’. Measuring individuals’ position in society by means of survey research is of key interest for both academic and policy-related survey research at the national and international levels. Firstly, researchers often want to present descriptive data separately for specific socio-economic or demographic groupings of interest. Secondly, in multivariate analyses of relationships amongst other variables, they need to control for respondents’ socio-economic and demographic characteristics. Thirdly, they may even want to test hypotheses in the area of social stratification research, i.e. using elements of the individuals’ position in society as a ‘main’ variable of interest. In order to do this effectively and permit cumulating research results, surveys need to provide reliable, valid and comparable measures of respondents’ position in the social structure. Comparability can be over time (especially cohorts), space (especially countries), as well as survey projects. While there are only few standard data collection instruments and some coding frameworks for such measures, many survey projects and researchers have put a lot of effort and consideration into the measurement of individuals’ position in society. This session invites papers that reflect on the conceptualisation, data collection, harmonisation and coding of the individuals’ socio-structural position in mono-cultural and cross-cultural, longitudinal and cross-sectional surveys. We particularly welcome papers presenting critical appraisals and innovative solutions to problems of comparative conceptualisation, data collection, harmonisation and analysis. This session intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working with different surveys to facilitate a debate across survey programmes and between data producers and data users.

ESA RN 21 midterm conference "Data quality in quantitative research" in Cyprus - October 2016
by Aschauer Wolfgang 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

"Sorry for cross-posting" Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Research Network 21 (Quantitative methods) of the European Sociological Association I would like to draw attention to our midterm-conference on "Data quality in quantitative research" in Nikosia (Cyprus) between October 13 and October 15 2016. You find the CfP in the attachment. Please note that you can either send session proposals (including a description of the session and a list of abstracts of planned speakers) or submit single abstracts till the 15th of February. We also decided to keep the conference fees low (especially for young researchers) because we hope to bring methodologists from all over Europe together and want to nurture especially young scientists in an early stage of their carrier. We are looking forward to your proposals and abstracts. Please feel free to distribute the CfP to your colleagues and other researchers who may be interested to participate at our conference. Best regards and all the best wishes for the new year! Wolfgang Aschauer (Coordinator of ESA RN 21) MMag.

Call for Papers for the Session Mixed Methods Research – Epistemological and Methodological Implications at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology (RC33), University of Leicester (United Kingdom) Conference Date: September 11th – 16th, 2016 Submission Deadline for Papers: 21st January, 2016 Conference Website http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/sociology/research/rc33-conference/rc33-co… Please find further information on ISA RC33 (Research Committee on Logic & Methodology of the International Sociology Association) on http://www.rc33.org/ Session Topic Mixed methods research has a long tradition in social science and currently under major resurgence. In this session we would like to stimulate an exchange over epistemological issues arising from mixed methods research. Do we move ‘beyond paradigms’ with mixed methods research? What are lessons learned from empirical mixed methods research? Beyond design features of mixed methods studies, we would like to reflect upon epistemological implications of mixed methods research. We will not consider proposals dealing with mere presentations of mixed methods designs.

Call for Papers: Current Issues In Doing Ethnographic Field Work
by Thierbach, Cornelia 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Call for Papers for the Session Current Issues In Doing Ethnographic Field Work at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology (RC33), University of Leicester (United Kingdom) Conference Date: September 11th - 16th, 2016 Submission Deadline for Papers: 21st January, 2016 Conference Website http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/sociology/research/rc33-conference/rc33-co… Please find further information on ISA RC33 (Research Committee on Logic & Methodology of the International Sociology Association) on http://www.rc33.org/ Session Topic Ethnography is a methodological approach commonly applied in sociology, science and technology studies, ethnology and anthropology. Researchers using ethnography usually (have to) spend a lot of time doing field work and they are facing different kinds of challenges. However, this session aims at exploring current issues when doing ethnographic field work. We are especially interested in examining strategies to reduce the field work time without missing out on relevant data. This is an important issue to discuss since resources (e.g. time, money, etc.) are often limited and sometimes long periods in the field are not necessary. There are different methodological debates that deal with this kind of problem, e.g. focused ethnography (Knoblauch 2005) or panel ethnographies (Petschick 2015). We would like to discuss them with you and learn from your experiences. Therefore, papers should deal with one of the following questions: (1) How can researchers reduce field work? What are the advantages and disadvantages in doing so? Feel free to also present an innovative ethnographic approach. (2) What kind of projects can be realized with short-term field visits? Please present your research project and how you dealt with arising problems. (3) Otherwise, papers should contribute to this methodological debate in general: How can researchers reduce the time they have to spend in their field of research? What methodological considerations should an ethnographer keep in mind? How can she compensate for missed field work time? Or what aspects prevent you from reducing it? Please consider to discuss your contribution by referring to a specific research project or by using specific research examples you are familiar with.
