Where Methods and Substance Meet:
Reflecting the Present and Shaping the Future of Public Opinion and Survey Research
November 22-23, 2019
Embassy Suites, Downtown Chicago, 600 N. State Street, Chicago, IL 60654
Conference Chair: Dana Garbarski, Loyola University Chicago
Associate Conference Chair: Sara Walsh, NORC at the University of Chicago
This year, our conference theme encourages us to extend the strengths of the MAPOR community in our methodological and substantive research interests and focus on their intersection—how they shape and are shaped by each other. For example, how interviewers’ behaviors shape respondents’ survey answers and vice versa, how methods of gathering public opinion data may shape public opinion, and so forth. Our conference will feature many interesting sessions on all facets of research related to public opinion, communication, survey research, and their methodologies. We are looking forward to seeing you in November at the conference!
