Teaching inclusive and policy-relevant statistical methods

Ford School professor Catie Hausman will speak as part of the ISR Inclusive Research Matters Seminar Series. Professor Hausman will share examples of inclusive pedagogical approaches to teaching quantitative methods, based on her experiences teaching Statistics to master’s level students in the School of Public Policy. She’ll describe methods that can improve learning outcomes and student engagement, by recognizing a diverse array of learning styles and student backgrounds. She’ll also discuss how to promote critical thinking in quantitative classes, both to improve student comprehension and to acknowledge ethical considerations in the application of statistical methods.

This event will be held in-person and via Zoom.
