Workshop on Migration Data and Analysis

项目摘要/摘要 我们的目标是建立一年一度的移民数据和分析夏季研讨会，培训新的 评估21世纪移民潮的原因和影响的一代研究人员(1) 在人口统计、网络和其他数据分析方法方面对他们进行培训，(2)教他们利用现有的 数据集，例如通过推算和纵向匹配，以及(3)指导他们最佳实践 新的数据收集项目。这些目的的“移徙”包括国内移徙和国际移徙， 广义上指一个人在一个国家或地区内从一个定义的地区到另一个定义的地区的流动 跨越国际边界。为期11天的培训计划将欢迎来自全国各地的学员 一门密集的实践课程，它结合了重复的核心教学材料和关于 方法、数据分析和研究设计逐年变化。学员将学习技能，能够 推进自己的研究项目，并与同行和专家讲师建立网络。我们还计划 为那些不能参加研讨会的人建立在线资源，并将其作为长期计划遗产。 移民是人口研究的三大支柱之一，但它的存在、原因和后果在 许多方面，比出生和死亡更难准确衡量。这是一个具有挑战性的跟踪和 模拟人类在时间和空间上的流动性。学者们也面临着巨大的障碍， 了解流动对接受国和移民在整个社会的福祉的影响， 健康、经济和行为结果。现有的管理、调查和其他数据源通常 报告不完整，对评估移徙和融合所需的关键变量的复盖面有限或覆盖范围较差。 研究人员需要了解在现有的分散、多样化的来源中哪些数据是可用的；如何 收集克服现有限制的新数据；以及在有限制的情况下可以对现有数据做些什么， 包括迁移网络的计算机建模、输入丢失信息的技术或如何 对统计和基于现场的定性数据来源进行三角测量。 这一年度研讨会将在加州大学伯克利分校举行，利用校园的制度 和人力资源。我们将邀请伯克利校区内外的移民专家作为嘉宾 教师和我们将借鉴该大学和PI在培训年轻学者方面的成熟记录 不同的学科和方法背景，包括历史上代表性不足的少数群体和 女人。通过将培训、共享研究和网络结合在一起，我们将创造一个持久的 可以在未来几年从事数据驱动的跨学科移民研究的学者社区。

Project Summary/Abstract We aim to establish an annual Summer Workshop in Migration Data and Analysis that will train a new generation of researchers to evaluate the causes and effects of twenty-first century migration streams by (1) training them in demographic, network and other data-analysis methods, (2) teaching them to leverage existing datasets, such as through imputation and longitudinal matching, and (3) instructing them in best-practices for new data-collection projects. “Migration” for these purposes includes both internal and international migration, conceived broadly as the movement of a person from one defined area to another, either within a country or across an international border. The 11-day training program will welcome trainees from across the country for an intensive, hands-on curriculum that combines a repeated core of instructional material with special topics on methods, data analysis and research design that change year-to-year. Trainees will learn skills, be able to advance their own research projects and build networks with peers and expert instructors. We also plan to build on-line resources for those who cannot attend the workshop, and as a long-term program legacy. Migration is one of the three pillars of population studies but its existence, causes and consequences are, in many respects, much more difficult to measure accurately than births and deaths. It is challenging to track and model human mobility over time and space. Scholars also face significant obstacles in measuring and understanding the repercussions of mobility for receiving societies and for migrants' well-being across social, health, economic and behavioral outcomes. Existing administrative, survey and other data sources are often incomplete and provide limited or poor coverage of key variables needed to evaluate migration and integration. Researchers need to learn which data are available across the scattered, diverse sources in existence; how to collect new data that overcome existing limits; and what can be done with existing data given limitations, including computer modeling of migration networks, techniques for imputing missing information, or how to triangulate statistical and field-based qualitative data sources. This annual workshop will be held at the University of California, Berkeley, leveraging the campus's institutional and human resources. We will call on migration experts on and beyond the Berkeley campus to be guest instructors and we will draw on the university's and PI's proven track record in training young scholars from diverse disciplinary and methodological backgrounds, including historically under-represented minorities and women. By bringing together training, sharing research, and networking, we will create a long-lasting community of scholars who can engage in data-driven interdisciplinary migration research for years to come.
