CSDE Affiliates Zack Almquist, Amy Hagopian, and Nathalie Williams are rolling out a pilot project to test  out a new method for improving the required unsheltered Homelessness count (often called the Point-in-Time Count). The plan is to administer short surveys to individuals experiencing homelessness across 10+ sites from April 17-May 15 using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) methods. We are currently looking for graduate student volunteers to help manage the sites’ data collection teams. (read more)

Please join the CDWG for a fascinating presentation on a novel method for sampling hard to reach populations. In April 2022 King County Regional Homelessness Authority (King County Continuum of Care) with CSDE Affiliate Zack Almquist ran a novel method known as Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) to estimate the total population of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness in King County at a single point-in-time. This is based on the HUD reporting mandate, where every Continuum of Care (CoC) attempt to count the total number of unhoused residents in a single night (see https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hdx/pit-hic/) every two years.

CSSS Seminar: Regulating Ethics – The Status and Stakes of Institutional Ethical Review for the Social Sciences (12:30pm, 04/12/23)

Professor Rebecca Tipton (The Swiss Graduate Institute) will speak about her research around ethical review in the social sciences.  Since 1974, institutional ethical review of human subjects research has transformed from a peculiarly American practice to a global standard. However, worldwide, social scientists have found institutional ethical review ill-suited for addressing ethical concerns in their disciplines. Critiques of ethical review made by scholars of politics and IR have emphasized ethics in practice.
