The PSC Brown Bag Series runs live and on Zoom this year, Mondays from 12 to 12:50 p.m.

In this PSC talk co-sponsored by ISR’s Inclusive Research Matters Series, Catherine Hausman presents:
Teaching Inclusive and Policy-Relevant Statistical Methods

Professor Hausman will share examples of inclusive pedagogical approaches to teaching quantitative methods, based on her experiences teaching Statistics to master’s level students in the School of Public Policy. She’ll describe methods that can improve learning outcomes and student engagement, by recognizing a diverse array of learning styles and student backgrounds. She’ll also discuss how to promote critical thinking in quantitative classes, both to improve student comprehension and to acknowledge ethical considerations in the application of statistical methods.

Catherine H. Hausman is an associate professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research. Her work focuses on environmental and energy economics
