Using the British Election Study as a guiding example, Professor Jane Green discusses the challenges and pitfalls regarding survey design. These include, but are not limited to, minimizing potential framing effects, ensuring that the surveys are not too cognitive demanding, and incorporating item response theory into the survey questions and answer choices. Professor Green will also discuss the decision-making process behind the choice of survey questions to include and the themes chosen for each module. The presentation will include a lengthy Q&A session, in which the audience can ask questions about presentation and seek advice on designing their own surveys. The workshop will be open to all academic staff at the Social Science Faculty.

Professor Green will also give a presentation on her research findings using the British Election Study on May 27th, 2025. The presentation will be held at the Department of Political Science, Lund University. The presentation will also be open to all academic staff at the Social Science Faculty.
