Interdisciplinary workshop on conceptualization and measurement at IAS

Together with Riet van Bork, I am organizing a two-day workshop (June 10 – June 11, 2014) at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of the University of Amsterdam titled ‘Exploring the interaction between conceptualization and measurement across the sciences’. This workshop invites early-career researchers located in Europe to exchange ideas across disciplines that help better understand how concepts and measurement interact with each other.

We aim to explore commonalities and differences between academic disciplines (from the whole range of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities) in the way conceptualization and measurement inform each other, with the goal of improving measurement practices within these fields.
