SSDAN Director William Frey will be presenting “Census and ACS in the Classroom: A ‘Hands-On’ Workshop for College Professors” at the 2012 Annual Population Association of America (PAA) Meeting on Wednesday, May 2 in San Francisco. Together with co-presenters Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau and Andrew Beveridge from Social Explorer, Dr. Frey will discuss how professors can integrate American Community Survey (ACS) and US Census data analysis into sociology courses.
Dr. Frey will provide an overview of the SSDAN project, and will demonstrate SSDAN’s DataCounts and CensusScope data analysis tools. Participants will conduct analyses of 1950-2010 Census and 2010 ACS data using PRB, Census Bureau, and SSDAN resources.
