The Workshop on Education is an interdisciplinary seminar series on education topics. The workshop hosts two types of sessions: Methodology and New Findings in Education. The Methodology sessions focus on works in progress for individuals seeking guidance on methodological problems. The New Findings in Education sessions function as typical University of Chicago workshops with detailed discussions regarding student and faculty papers. Open discussion is encouraged at each workshop. For additional information on the Workshop on Education lecture series please contact Desmond Patton, Workshop Coordinator, dpatton@uchicago.edu. Susan Levine and Stephen Raudenbush are Faculty Representatives.
