2013年3月
北京大学－密歇根大学学院将于2013年7－8月在北京大学继续开设为期一个半月的暑期强化课程。任课教师均为密大和美国高校的著名教授。欢迎北大和国内高校、研究单位的教师、研究人员、硕、博研究生和高年级本科生申请本期暑期课程。具体课程和任课教师介绍如下：
一、课程安排及介绍：
1、课程名称：《历史社会学研究方法》（Methods for Historical Sociology）
时间：2013年7月1日至7月12日
课时：30学时
招生人数：20人
工作语言：英语
主讲教师：Howard Kimeldorf 教授
Prof. Howard Kimeldorf earned his Ph.D. in Sociology from the Universityof Californiaat Los Angelesin 1985. Later that year he joined the faculty at the Universityof Michiganwhere he is now a Professor of Sociology. He is the author of two books on the historical formation of the twentieth-century American labor movement:
Reds or Rackets? The Making of Radical and Conservative Unions on the Waterfront (1988) and
Battling for American Labor: Wobblies, Craft Workers and the Making of the Union Movement (1999). In addition to his many labor-related articles and commentaries, he has also written on ethical consumption, historical methods, contemporary corporate strategy, and class theory.

课程介绍：This course introduces the methods and underlying reasoning commonly employed by historical sociologists. We will begin by exploring the key concepts, debates and competing approaches within this methodological tradition through a class discussion of representative scholarly readings. Students will then select their own research topics as a basis for developing a brief proposal that utilizes historical methods. We will discuss preliminary proposal ideas in class. Final written proposals will be due on the final day of the course.
2、课程名称：《事件史分析方法》（Event History Analysis）
时间：2013年7月15日至7月26日
课时：30学时
招生人数：80人
工作语言：英语
主讲教师：Daniel A. Powers教授
Dan Powers is a professor of sociology in the Department of Sociology at theUniversityofTexasatAustinwith interests in social demography and statistics. He is a research associate with thePopulationResearchCenterat theUniversityofTexasatAustinwhere he has participated in funded research over the past 21 years. He has substantive research interests in fertility, mortality, social inequality, and health disparities. His research examines issues relating to the Hispanic epidemiological paradox in infant mortality, temporal change in infant mortality, multivariate decomposition methodology for hazard rates, and statistical methods for adjusting life tables and survivor functions. Dan plays a key role in statistics and methods training in the Department of Sociology and at thePopulationResearchCenterby teaching graduate courses in categorical data analysis and longitudinal data analysis. He has taught courses in Event History Analysis in the Department of Sociology for the past 20 years and at the Summer Statistics Institute at theUniversityofTexasatAustinfor the past 4 years. He has served on over 90 MS and Ph.D. committees, and is former graduate advisor and GSC chair of the masters in statistics program in the Division of Statistics and Scientific Computation at UT.

课程介绍：The purpose of this course is to introduce and apply methods and models for event history analysis. Event history analysis deals with methods for events occurring in time. This topic is also known as Survival Analysis, and includes the study of methods and models for the analysis of transition rates. This is an applied course that will draw on data from sociology, demography and health fields. The course will provide in-depth treatment of the most widely-used methods for event-history analysis. This course should be useful for graduate students and faculty in the social, behavioral, biological, and health sciences as well as applied researchers in a variety of fields.
Prerequisites: Students should have had a course in basic statistics and a course in linear regression and some familiarity with a computer package.
Intended Audience: The intended audience is graduate students, researchers, and faculty members interested in an overview of event history modeling with the goal of understanding the theory, models, and methods for the analysis of event histories. This course will prepare participants to analyze event history data, and to understand the empirical application of these methodologies in their particular field of study.
3、课程名称：《抽样调查方法》（Methods of Survey Sampling）
时间：2013年7月29日至8月9日
学时：30学时
招生人数：60人
工作语言：英语
主讲教师：
James M. Lepkowski教授
James M. Lepkowski received his Ph.D. in 1980 from theUniversityofMichigan. He has been on theMichiganfaculty since 1982, and is currently a Research Professor in Survey Methodology at the Institute for Social Research and a Professor of Biostatistics in theSchoolofPublic Health, at theUniversityofMichigan. He is also a Research Professor in the Joint Program in Survey Methodology at theUniversityofMaryland. He has conducted research in statistical methods in surveys throughout his career, and currently teaches surveysampling and practical survey methods at the universities ofMichiganandMarylandand directs the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques at the Institute for Social Research.

课程介绍：Methods of Survey Sampling is an applied statistical methods course. It differs from most statistics courses because it is concerned almost exclusively with the
design of data collection rather than with
analysis of collected data. The focus of the course will be on problems ofsampling human populations. While the principles ofsample selection can be applied to many other types of problems,sample survey practices are widely used in the study of human populations. Sampling human populations poses unique and challenging problems that illustrate the application of the methods.
The course is presented at a moderately advanced statistical level. We will develop few of the mathematical aspects ofsampling theory. A sound background in applied statistics is necessary, since a few mathematical derivations will be presented. And though the emphasis will not be on mathematical derivations, a thorough understanding of mathematical formulations will be needed.
The aims of the course are to teach basic ideas ofsampling from an applied perspective and to provide experience with real problems. The course will cover the main techniques used insampling practice: simple randomsampling, stratification, systematic selection, clustersampling, multistagesampling, and probability proportional to sizesampling. The course will also briefly cover topics such assampling frames, cost models,sampling error estimation techniques, and compensating for missing data.
Class sessions are daily, include morning lecture with discussion of homework and examinations, and afternoon optional homework problem solving sessions. Lecture notes, homework problems, homework solutions, and other course materials will be available on a web site for course students.
