Summer Institute in Migration Research Methods 2018
2018 Summer Institute in Migration Research Methods
Program Overview
The 2018 Summer Institute in Migration Research Methods (SIMRM) provided 8 days of training in the use and analysis of migration data at Berkeley from June 17 through June 28, 2018. It targeted early career scholars (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and untenured junior faculty five years from PhD). The institute drew local and national experts to train attendees and provide on-site mentorship. Most participant costs were covered thanks to award #78-18-01 from the Russell Sage Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
The inaugural institute focused on three topics:
- Collecting, imputing and analyzing data related to legal status
- Best practices and new methods for surveying immigrant and mobile populations
- The use of new data sources (e.g., web scraping, social media data) in migration studies.
