The Workshop on Quantitative Research Methods in Education, Health, and Social Sciences (QMEHSS) serves as an important venue on the University of Chicago campus for building an intellectual community of colleagues who share methodological interests. Workshop participants meet biweekly to discuss working papers and brainstorm solutions to methodological problems encountered in ongoing research. Participants have included faculty members, researchers, and students from the Social Sciences Division, Health Studies, Statistics, Public Policy, the National Opinion Research Center, the Consortium for Chicago School Research, and colleagues from the University of Illinois in Chicago. In addition, we have invited speakers from other major universities to share with us their latest work.

A pre-workshop session is designed to prepare students for active participation in intellectual discourse in the workshop. The pre-workshop sessions will be held in a hybrid format this year (2025-2026) before each workshop session, and will be scheduled at the beginning of each quarter based on MAPSS QMSA students’ schedules. Please contact Yanyan Sheng (y.sheng@uchicago.edu) for specific information about attending pre-workshop session. Our workshops meet bi-weekly on Fridays from 11:00am until 12:30pm CST unless otherwise noted.

Please Note: The Workshop is held in person at location TBD for the upcoming academic year.. For those who wish to attend virtually, there is a Zoom backup option that can be accessed by emailing Aasha Francis afrancis1@uchicago.edu or by subscribing to our email list.
