New Initiative: Interdisciplinary Training in the Social Sciences (ITSS)
The ITSS (Interdisciplinary Training in the Social Sciences) is a new program that provides cross-disciplinary training in methods and professional socialization to postdocs and graduate students who work in the social and behavioral sciences. The ITSS initiative is funded by the Graduate School and College of Arts and Sciences and is jointly run by CARTSS (Center to Advance Research and Training in the Social Sciences) and IBS (Institute of Behavioral Science).
Full Fall offerings can be found here. Additional methods training (including a qualitative methods workshop and one-credit methods mini-courses) for the Spring semester will be rolled out later this year.
