The Social Science Mechanics Series:

A unique approach to the presentation of methods and research, prominent
socialscience researchers have been asked to present one published article in
an interactive environment.

The researchers will approach the presentation as a storyline-from the earliest
stages of their research through the final publication.

This series aims to train future rearchers and decision makers on methods used
in cutting edge, policy relevant research.
