The Division of Social Sciences, the Social Sciences Experimental Laboratory (SSEL), and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute are pleased to sponsor the annual Winter Experimental Social Sciences Institute (WESSI) at NYU Abu Dhabi.
WESSI is designed to provide training for social science graduate students and junior faculty in experimental methods, broadly defined (lab, field, lab-in-the-field, biological, and survey experiments will be covered). The Institute also includes special sessions on the issues and concerns of conducting experiments in Africa, the Middle East, and the surrounding region. Students at the Institute will be given the opportunity to receive personal feedback on their own research, through presentations and from meeting individually with faculty.
