Using the European Social Survey (ESS) in your Teaching and Research

Using the European Social Survey in Teaching and Research

Dr. Amy Healy Postdoctoral Research Fellow from Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick will host a seminar on using the European Social Survey in teaching and research on Tuesday, March 20th from 1 to 2pm in RD005, Rathdown House, Grangegorman Campus, Grangegorman, Dublin 7. In her seminar, Dr. Healy will describe the ESS data and discuss how it can be integrated into research across a range of disciplines. The ESS is a major source of data on attitudes and values across Europe, running every two years since 2002. It is easy to integrate into teaching and into academic and non-academic research projects. The 2016 survey included 23 countries. (Read more at http://europeansocialsurvey.org.) This seminar will provide:

- descriptions of ESS data sets (individual - and macro-level data, media data);

- a discussion of topics covered regularly and within the rotating modules;

- an explanation of how to access the data and of the different ways the data can be used (including the ESS online analysis system); and

- an outline of the impact of using ESS in research.
