Call for Submissions Special Issue of Methodology: Experimental Survey Designs This is a call for papers for a special issue of Methodology. European Journal of Research Methods for the Behavioral and Social Sciences on Experimental Survey Designs. Methodology provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of methodological research and applications, covering the main disciplines of survey methodology, research methodology, and psychometrics. The last years have witnessed an increasing number of innovative applications and methodological advances in experimental survey designs. Unlike earlier types of experimental manipulations which examined method-variance only, much of this new generation of experimental manipulations embedded in general population surveys deals with substantive purposes. The aim of this special issue of Methodology is twofold: • to present methodologically oriented readers the state-of-the-art of experimental survey designs across the social sciences • to increase applied researchers’ awareness of experimental surveys as a powerful and flexible methodological tool for making causal inferences by convincing applications of this approach Methodology is therefore inviting manuscripts for a special issue on Experimental Designs in Survey Research. We welcome submissions - irrespective of academic subfield - which cover recent methodological advances and innovative substantive applications of experimental survey designs. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed by a minimum of three experts in the field. Preference will be given to manuscripts clearly demonstrating how application of experimental survey design uniquely advances knowledge in the respective area of research and/or explaining a new methodology to a broader audience. All manuscripts should be submitted via email to the Guest-editors of the special issue, Elmar Schlueter (University of Marburg), Schluet3(a)staff.uni-marburg.de and Peter Schmidt (University of Giessen), Peter.Schmidt(a)sowi.uni-giessen.de following the submission instructions for regular manuscripts. Maximum length of articles (double-spaced, 12pt font) including tables and references is 27 pages. Authors should note that the submission is intended for consideration for the special issue. The deadline for submission is 15th April 2007.

December 2006 Research master's "Sociology and Social Research" at ICS-Utrecht Dear Colleague, I would like to draw your attention to the Master's program "Sociology and Social Research" at ICS-Utrecht and the Department of Sociology of Utrecht University. You know about the well-established and successful Ph.D training program of the Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS). We meanwhile also offer a selective research master's program that covers two years and leads to an MSc degree. Our master's program prepares for subsequent Ph.D training in sociology or another social science discipline - such as Ph.D training at the ICS - and for positions as a researcher in non-university social science research institutes. The research master's program "Sociology and Social Research" offers structured and systematic training in theoretically and methodologically advanced research in sociology and the social sciences in general. The target group of students consists of promising students with a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent period of three years of undergraduate study and qualifications that justify the expectation of successful completion of the program in due time. This includes students with a BA Sociology or Social Sciences, broadly conceived and including Economics, Political Sciences, Public Administration, Demography, and (Social) Psychology. We also attract students with a background in, for example, mathematics, computer sciences, econometrics, and statistics who have an interest in practical applications and who are intrigued by the meanwhile vast and fruitful applications of various branches of mathematics, computer sciences, etc. in social science theory and research, including data analysis. The program is completely taught in English. Students from outside the Netherlands are explicitly encouraged to apply. Admission to the program is selective. "Sociology and Social Research" is one of Utrecht University's Prestige master program and thus benefits from special funds of Utrecht University. For example, students of the program are eligible for Utrecht Excellence Scholarships. These scholarships are exclusively offered for students in Utrecht University Prestige master programs. Various other stipends as well as teaching and research assistantships are available for talented applicants. Also, funding is available for participation in summer schools outside the Netherlands (for example, Essex and Ann Arbor). Applications are also welcome from those who wish to follow exclusively the first year of the program as exchange students. Some courses of the program are taught in collaboration with a similar program at ICS Groningen and with Groningen colleagues. Each year, a new year group enters the program. We are currently searching for talented candidates for the academic year 2007/2008. Courses for this group will start on September 1, 2007. The deadline for applications for the academic year 2007/2008 is March 1, 2007. See the attachment for further information. Detailed information on the program - such as courses taught and an overview of projects for master's thesis projects - is also available at www.fss.uu.nl/graduateschool Please use gradschool(a)fss.uu.nl for any enquiries about the program and about admission procedures. I would like to ask you to search in your own network for students who might be interested in this program. Your interest and cooperation is much appreciated.

The 8th European Sociological Association (ESA) Conference, Glasgow 3rd to 6th September 2007 The Research Network "RENCORE: Methods for Comparative Research on Europe" is planning four sessions and the biannual meeting for its members: 1st session: Standardizing Socio-Demographic Variables for Cross National Social Surveys 2nd session: Methods in European Survey Research 3rd session: Methodological Aspects in Comparative Survey Research 4th session: Comparative Analysis of European Data from Official Statistics Call for papers 1st session: Standardizing Socio-Demographic Variables for Cross National Social Surveys organized by: Juergen H.P. Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik, GESIS-ZUMA, Mannheim/GER For the measurement of socio-demographic variables, the knowledge of the various underlying concepts, the cultural and national structures of the variables and the usual national indicators are necessary. With this knowledge functional equivalence of socio-demographic variables can be reached by harmonizing the variables. The sessions have on the agenda the way from national concepts of variables to international comparable measurements and indicators, the progress in methods using comparative survey data and the methodological aspects of survey research analyzing cross national and cross cultural surveys. 2nd session: Methods in European Survey Research organized by: Uwe Warner, CEPS/INSTEAD, Differdange/LUX European comparative survey researches hold all methodological problems which can be found also in national survey research. But in international survey research additional methodological problem appears based on different cultures. The second session has on the agenda methodological topics on European comparative survey research like national effects of sample designs, the scaling, the measurement of values, the translation and the functional equivalence, the data quality, etc. and the comparative exposure of these problems. 3rd session: Methodological Aspects in Comparative Survey Research organized by: Juergen H.P. Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik, GESIS-ZUMA, Mannheim/GER Themes for the third session are: interview cultures and mode effects, particular target population groups (older workers, children, migrants, etc.); theme or objective oriented surveys (health, wealth, intergenerational relations, etc.), etc. 4th session: Comparative Analysis of European Data from Official Statistics organized by: Christof Wolf, GESIS-ZUMA, Mannheim/GER This session focuses on data provided by either national statistical offices in Europe or Eurostat, e.g. national censuses, the European Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) or the European Study on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). These data sets offer several advantages for social-structural analysis: Sample sizes are usually very large making the identification of even small subgroups viable and non-response is usually very modest. Since more and more official data are directly or indirectly influenced by EU-regulations and more and more data of this kind is produced in several if not all countries of the EU researchers interested in analysing the social structure of their societies should pay more attention to this data source. Possible topics of presentations in this session include data availability, strategies for anonymising official micro data, strategies for harmonising these data over time or nation, meta data and documentation standards for these data. Proposal for the RENCORE meeting at ESA conference should be submitted electronically by using the official conference web page: http://www.esa8thconference.com/abstractsubmission/submissionform.php Please send also a copy to hoffmeyer-zlotnik(a)zuma-mannheim.de with: title, author's name, author's institution, e-mail-address, abstract and referring to the session number by deadline: February 15, 2007. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christof Wolf Sprecher der Sektion Methoden der Empirischen Sozialforschung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie Tel. 0621 1246-153, -197

The unifying question is: How to deal with uncertainty, concerning global warming, in climate research as well as in socio-political and public contexts? On the one hand climate modellers have to ensure the quality and validity of their results which have an enormous impact on society and politics and on the other science communication researchers have to analyse the media strategies in communicating uncertainty to the public related to the sensitive topic of climate change. Although having different perspectives and relationships to climate change, the core on which both groups of researchers relate to is the computer based simulation and its scenarios. Talking about uncertainty mainly denotes talking about the new and vague method of simulation. Therefore “dealing with uncertainty” can be reformulated as “dealing with simulation”. The workshop will give first hand insight into current strategies of climate modellers, how they deal with the uncertainty of the simulation’s results, how they improve them, and how they increase the validity of these results for policy options and public response to upcoming decisions. Furthermore the workshop will give information about the view of society, communicated by the Media, on the issue of climate change. Syukuro Manabe (Princeton University), the doyen of climate modelling who wrote the first global climate model together with Richard T. Wetherald in the 1970s, will talk about the early development of climate modelling and the prospect for the future. He will give a first hand insight in the developments, improvements and problems of climate modelling. Johann Feichter (MPI Hamburg), head of the group “Aerosols, Clouds and Climate", will present the advanced strategies for evaluating the current climate scenarios for the upcoming IPCC report 2007. Hermann Held (PIK Potsdam), senior researcher for uncertainty analysis of climate projections at the PIK Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, will point out the major developments for the derivation of robust (climate policy) advice from coupled complex models under massive uncertainty. Dealing with uncertainty is the key issue in integrated assessment processes for achieving reliable and sustainable results at the interface between science, politics and the public. Harald Heinrichs (Lueneburg University), assistant professor at the Institute for Environmental Communication at the University of Lueneburg, will explore the relationship between sustainability in environmental sciences and public communication. Hans Peter Peters [Research Center Juelich], communication researcher at the Program Group Humans-Environment-Technology of the Research Center Juelich, Germany, will describe some problems of public communication of science, focusing on computer simulation. Together with Harald Heinrichs he has recently completed a study on public meaning construction of climate change and it consequences. Jana Demnitz and Franziska Mrosek [FU Berlin], Master's candidates at the Free University Berlin, will present results of exploratory studies of how computer simulation is included in TV science coverage and how the simulation sequences are perceived by the audience. A science research overview on the new epistemic culture of simulation will be given as an introduction in the workshop by Gabriele Gramelsberger (FU Berlin). Gabriele Gramelsberger, science philosopher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Free University of Berlin, has carried out during the last years a science research study on climate modelling based on interviews. The study is part of the ongoing research project “Computer Based Simulation – New Instrument of Knowledge Production in Science” which is related to the BBAW research programme “Knowledge for Decision-making Processes – Research on the Relationship between Science, Politics and Society”. - Speakers - Jana Demnitz is a student of journalism and mass communication at the Free University of Berlin.
