Center for Empirical Research on Stratification and Inequality

The mission of the center is to support empirical research on the causes and consequences of social inequalities.

The workshop focuses on theoretical and methodological issues in the areas of the life course (education, training, labor markets, aging as well as family demography), social inequality (class structures, stratification, and social mobility) and related topics. The core of the workshop is devoted to the discussion of ongoing research by faculty and graduate students. The workshop will also include lectures and hands-on practical training in select topics in quantitative research methodology.

Weekly Workshop

Meetings are Thursdays from 12:00pm-1:20pm  in 493 College Street, Room 106.
