Workshops
The Workshop on Education alternates between two types of sessions:
1. Methodology and
2. New Findings in Education
The Methodology sessions will focus on methodological problem-solving and works in progress for individuals seeking guidance on methodological problems. The New Findings in Education section functions as a typical University of Chicago workshop with detailed discussions regarding student and faculty papers. Open discussion is encouraged after each workshop. For additional questions and upcoming workshop schedules go to http://cas.uchicago.edu/workshops/edu or contact workshop coordinator, Chloe Hutchinson at chloeh@uchicago.edu. Diane Whitmore-Schanzenbach and Stephen Raudenbush are faculty representatives. Information regarding research in education at the University of Chicago may be accessed throught the Committee on Education website.
