Ann O’Connell, professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Ohio State, will share some experiences with capacity building for research in higher education in Ethiopia. She will approach this presentation as a methodologist and educational statistician, and will provide some suggestions for how students and faculty can become engaged in international work in this area. O’Connell will also talk about the current (although changing) curricula in primary and secondary schools in Ethiopia that are designed to help students develop better understanding of data, and the intended impact of these efforts on post-secondary and graduate education.
The event is free and open to the public, and participants are welcome to bring lunch and eat during the conversation. RSVP here.
