Section 201 – Social Science Methods and African Studies.
This course provides an introduction to the use of survey research
methods in African research settings. Structured as a workshop, the course is organized around the design, management, and analysis
of surveys, although it also introduces topics in the analysis
of aggregate data, as necessary. Surveys can be used to study
not only attitudes, but also behavior, program outputs, prices, and other subjects. The workshop will introduce several different
types of survey research, including measurement of living standards, construction of consumer price indices, analysis of fertility
patterns, and monitoring of political attitudes. There are no
prerequisites, but familiarity with social science research methods
and basic math skills are extremely helpful. Meets 7/22 to 8/16.
