Upcoming AMAP Events (Spring 2024)
This semester, our events are mainly focused on faculty members and graduate students showcasing their ongoing research at our Work in Progress series (formerly called Brownbags), as well as a workshop on focus group discussion.
Work in Progress Series
Work in Progress, formerly called Brownbags, is a series of events where graduate students and faculty members across disciplines present their ongoing work in front of an audience.
We especially invite you to participate if you are a student who may find yourself teaching or taking a methods course in the future, if you are a student who teaches methods or data analysis informally through one one-on-one meetings with your students or peers, or if you are a faculty member using or teaching research methods in a quantitative/qualitative/mixed methods course!
This is also an excellent place to interact with and know more about the plethora of methods grad students and faculty members use across disciplines at Purdue, and explore opportunities for potential collaborations!
Workshops
AMAP hosts several workshops on quantitative and qualitative research methods conducted by faculty members from across disciplines in behavioral, social, and health sciences as well as graduate students. This is an incredible place to learn the usage of new tools and methods of research with hands-on experience from experts across different fields.
Special Events
AMAP also hosts miscellaneous special events. Often, these include guest speakers discussing methodological research or other topics of interest to the AMAP audience. We also host a flash talk event at the beginning of each academic year to showcase the methodological work of newly hired faculty.
Our upcoming events are listed below.
