CALL FOR PAPERS (ENGLISH) -- I INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON "METHODOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND APPLICATIONS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES: QUANTITATIVE, QUALITATIVE AND COMPUTATIONAL NEW STRATEGIES” (7-8 July, 2022)

The I INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON "METHODOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND APPLICATIONS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES: QUANTITATIVE, QUALITATIVE AND COMPUTATIONAL NEW STRATEGIES" will take place at the University of Huelva on 7-8 July 2022.

Methodological aspects of any research are of transversal interest for the Social Sciences, and the motivation for learning and improving the knowledge of methods, techniques and software applied to social research is common. Therefore, this Workshop is proposed with the idea of ​sharing methodological innovations in social research with other researchers and diverse applications of methods and strategies in actual research.

Together with the advances and applications in quantitative and qualitative areas in the Social Sciences, on many occasions developed with hybrid designs or mixed methods, due to their current relevance, this Workshop also aims to encourage the presentation and discussion of works where the computational component is essential. More specifically, when programming languages ​​such as R or Python (or others) have been incorporated into the research processes, which require specific programming skills or work in interdisciplinary teams by social scientists.

This I Workshop is co-organized by the Andalusian Association of Sociology (AAS), the Research Center "Social Studies and Social Intervention" (ESEIS), the Faculty of Social Work and the Center for Research in Contemporary Thought and Innovation for Social Development (COIDESO) at the Universidad de Huelva, Spain. Also, this event is co-organized by the Narratives & Social Changes international group – International Research Group (from the University of Salerno, Italy), the Interdisciplinary Center of Social Sciences of the University of Évora (CICS.NOVA.UÉvora), and the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences (INHUS), a unit dependent on the National Council for Scientific Research (CONICET) and the National University of Mar del Plata (UNMdP) in Argentine.

The Workshop is articulated around the following areas of work:

• Advances and applications in the quantitative field
• Advances and applications in the qualitative field
• Mixed Methods: Advances and Applications
• Computational Social Sciences: Social research supported by programming languages

WORKING LANGUAGES

Communications in Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese are welcomed. However, it is recommended to have written PowerPoint presentations in English to make more accessible a fluid communication between attendees.

MODALITY
