101) Workshop: Undergraduate Research Training Early and Often
Carla Howery, Deputy Executive Officer, asa: This workshop will showcase strategies for introducing data analysis in the lower division sociology curriculum. At present, the “research sequence” occurs late in the major, and is taken even later by students who are transfer students, who declare the major late, or who postpone taking research courses. There are many reasons for offering research experiences earlier in the curriculum — to give a more accurate and more exciting picture about the field of sociology and the inquiry process; to attract majors, especially quantitatively oriented students in other majors or undecided about a major; to better connect lower and upper division courses, especially the methods sequence; and to better prepare students to undertake research-related positions upon graduation. The group will share ideas about successful ways to introduce research experiences using available data sets and east-to-use data analysis programs to meet the learning goals of basic courses. There is no fee.

Carla Howery, Deputy Executive Officer, asa; howery@asanet.org: The MA in sociology is, or could be, the most marketable degree in sociology. Undergraduate students who, for a host of reasons, may not choose to go on for the Ph.D., might find the MA a significant career investment. Some Ph.D. students might also find the MA a better fit (not just a consolation prize) in their career pursuits. The ASA is working with departments to develop quality MA programs that focus on skills for applied work. There is no fee for the workshop, but preregistration is preferred by sending your name and affiliation to apap@asanet.org by April 1.
