SUMMARY:Data Collection vs Data Construction:  How Methodology and Sub
 stance are Inextricably Interwoven
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the first in a new NCAER seminar series
  on Data Collection Methodology organised by the NCAER National Dat
 a Innovation Centre. \r\n \r\nProfessor Presser will argue that data
  collection is a misleading metaphor because data are constructed not 
 collected. Hence, methodology and substance are inseparable. The impli
 cation is to upend the distinction between “results” and their “
 interpretation”.  He will illustrate the argument by two examples o
 f social change in the United States, one involving volunteering activ
 ities and the other, attendance at religious services.\r\n \r\nProfes
 sor Presser is interested in the interface between social psychology 
 and survey measurement. His research focuses on questionnaire design a
 nd testing, the accuracy of survey responses, non-response, and ethica
 l issues stemming from the use of human subjects. His journey as a soc
 ial science researcher exemplifies the title of his talk: how methodol
 ogy and substance are inextricably interwoven. His books on the subjec
 t, as co-author and Chief Editor, include Questions and Answers in At
 titude Surveys (with Howard Schuman), Survey Questions (with Jean C
 onverse), and Methods for Testing and Evaluating Survey Questionnaire
 s (as Chief Editor).\r\nRukmini S. is one of India’s few data jou
 rnalists and was the first Data Editor of an Indian publication while 
 at The Hindu. She was most recently Editor—Data and Innovation at 
 HuffPost India. \r\nRegister to watch*\r\n \n\nFor more information
