Boot Camp #2: Advanced Research Methods
Topic: TBD

This half-day workshop aims to provide a working knowledge of an advanced research method, such as Structural Equation Modeling or quantitative content analysis as a method of communication research. While the workshop will focus on only one method, we want your help in deciding which method.
