Courses, Conferences and Seminars
Summer Schools in Survey Methods
Residential courses, previously run by Nuffield College, held in Oxford from 1970 to 1976. Taught by senior practitioners from USA and UK.
Survey Research and Social Theory
In 1972-73 the SSRC Survey Unit organised a series of seminars chaired by Prof Morris Janowitz (Chicago) who was on sabbatical. The theme was "Survey Research and Social Theory" and the intention was that authors should present papers based on secondary analysis. In the event two papers were genuine secondary analysis: a planned paper by John Hall (analysis of data from the Quality of Life survey to test Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of human needs) didn't get past the early outline stage as he finished up doing all the (primary) analysis for some of the other authors!.The proceedings were published as;
