For the fourth year since 2018, UC Berkeley and Penn State are offfering methods training to immigration researchers. The Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative (BIMI) Summer Institute in Research Methods provides a venue to learn a variety of methods: from interviewing, to survey reserach, to mixed methods. The 10-day workshop (June 7-June 15) features presentations from visiting faculty and interactive workshops for a cohort of graduate students and early career professors who apply to the program. It is co-directed by Professors Irene Bloemraad and Jennifer Van Hook.
Topics for 2023 focus on research methodology in the context of migration. Here is the schedule:
June 7 – Introductions, ethics, why interview
