Summer Workshop on Quantitative Methods in Political Science

Lokniti - Programme for Comparative Democracy, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi, in collaboration with Jain University, Bengaluru, invites applications for the Summer Workshop on ‘Analyzing Quantitative Data on Indian Politics’ to be held in Bengaluru from Friday, 14th May 2010 to Monday, 24th May 2010.

This is the fourth Summer School being organized by Lokniti-CSDS. Earlier Workshops were organized in association with IIAS, Shimla and University of Michigan. Some of the leading scholars working on empirical methods in Political Science have been involved in designing this summer school. In this Summer School there will be a special emphasis on making sense of quantitative data on Indian politics. We plan to bring together a group of political scientists with the aim of providing them an opportunity to improve their skills in quantitative analysis. The selected participants will be given a set of readings before they come to attend the workshop and will be expected to attend lectures and practical data analysis sessions. Pradeep Chhibber (University of California at Berkeley) and Irfan Nooruddin (Ohio State University) will be the main resource persons for the workshop while other resource persons will include Ashutosh Varshney (Brown University), Sandeep Shastri (Jain University), Sanjay Kumar (CSDS) and Suhas Palshikar (University of Pune).

We invite the following categories of candidates to apply for this workshop 
(preference will be given to young researchers):
 

• Teachers of Political Science in colleges and Universities who are working on empirical subjects and would benefit from further training.
• Research students of Political Science who are working on empirical themes for their M. Phil. or Ph. D. dissertations and can benefit from further training.
• Any other person (including those from outside Political Science and outside academia) who are interested in making sense of politics by analyzing quantitative data.  
  

 Please send your detailed CV with a statement of research interest (those already registered for M. Phil. or Ph.D. should clearly mention the topic of dissertation along with a brief summary of the objectives and methodologies used) in about 500 words. Applicants should also visit our website http://www.lokniti.org/index.htm; access the questionnaire used for National Election Study 2004 and write a 500 word Note on a research question that interests them; based on this questionnaire. Selection for the workshop will be made on the basis of these two write-ups submitted by candidates. The last date for receiving the application is 22nd March 2010.
