About the series

Presented by the Tippie Research Office in collaboration with the Departments of Business Analytics, Economics, and Finance, this series highlights research methods.

Each Roundtable includes a 20-minute presentation - by an individual or panel - focused on a specific method, often framed as a question. Presenters may also share applications, usage tips, and ethical considerations. Consider this as a conversation with opportunities throughout for questions and to provide feedback on the session, share their own research experiences, and meet others with similar interests. The goal is to introduce methods in an accessible way while offering depth for experienced researchers.

Who should attend?

All researchers interested in learning about research methods, including faculty, visiting scholars and graduate students. Interdisciplinary attendance is encouraged to foster broader learning and collaboration.
