Deadline: March 15, 2020

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Graduate Methods Training Workshop
October 2-3, 2020 at Indiana University—Bloomington

Carrying out research in Russia, be it quantitative or qualitative, has particular challenges that can make it difficult for graduate students to make efficient and effective use of their time while in country: navigating the complex archival and library systems, conducting personal interviews on politically sensitive topics, and collecting elusive survey data, to name a few. The Graduate Methods Training Workshop aims to address these challenges by exploring innovative methodological approaches and engaging in training and dialogue with Russia-focused social scientists—all while fostering a community of emerging Russianists and promoting networking and professional opportunities with experts on Russia.
