UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO URBAN FORUMS: "Modeling Local Area Processes: Theories, Methods, and Models"
This conference will bring together sociologists, epidemiologists, psychologists, demographers, economists, and other social scientists concerned with the relationship between social behavior and space to address the theoretical, methodological, and substantive questions surrounding what are broadly understood as local context effects. The goal of this event is to identify some of the best models of processes of local contextual effects, assess how they complement each other, and advance the field through articulation and implementation of theory to integrate these with each other. Accordingly, the conference is organized around four themes: theoretical perspectives, methodological perspectives, social and cultural mechanisms, and spacial and network mechanisms.
Presenters include:
- Luc Anselin, Arizona State University
- Christopher Browning, The Ohio State University
- Terry Nichols Clark, University of Chicago
- David Harding, University of Michigan
- Louise Hawkley, University of Chicago
- Shige Oishi, University of Virginia
- Robert Sampson, Harvard University
- Daniel Silver, University of Toronto
- Patrick Sharkey, New York University
The conference will take place at the University of Chicago Gleacher Center (http://www.gleachercenter.com/), 405 N. Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago, IL on Friday, May 18, 2012 from 9 AM to 5 PM.
