Quantitative Research Lab @ NTU SOC

The Quantitative Research Lab (臺大社會系量化小組) is an academic exchange and research group organized by the Department of Sociology at National Taiwan University (NTU), where faculty members and students come together to discuss and share research. Led by professors including Kuo-Hsien Su (蘇國賢), Janet Chen-Lan Kuo (郭貞蘭), Meng-Jung Lin (林孟瑢), and Chen-Shuo Hong (洪晨碩), the lab facilitates bi-weekly research discussions involving both graduate and undergraduate students. These meetings are typically held online, with faculty and students taking turns presenting their research ideas, proposals, findings, or practice presentations. Additionally, members are encouraged to share interesting articles they have recently read or new quantitative methods they have learned. The meetings provide a platform for extensive feedback and questions from fellow members, thereby fostering collaborative learning.

This lab place an emphasis on quantitative methods and causal inference as its central theme. Members have a wide range of research interests across various sociological fields, including but not limited to education, population and family dynamics, social stratification and mobility, immigration, social networks, gender, work, life course, health, genetics, and politics. Anyone interested in quantitative statistical methods is welcome to contact Professor Su to join the Quantitative Research Lab’s mailing list to receive regular meeting information.
