The Department of Sociology and Work Science will host a combined training workshop and book launch on Wednesday 26 March. The event is suitable for staff and students interested in applying quantitative methods to intersectional analysis.
This hands-on, small-group workshop is designed for researchers in the social sciences, business, and management who want to integrate intersectional perspectives into their quantitative work. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical foundations of intersectionality, the limits of conventional quantitative approaches, and how the MAIHDA (multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy) framework and its contextual extensions can address some of these challenges. The session introduces the principles behind intersectional multilevel modelling, demonstrates how the methods work in practice, and guides participants through applied examples using Stata. Emphasis is placed on the wider conceptual implications, possibilities, and limitations of adopting an intersectional multilevel approach.
Prerequisites include basic familiarity with regression and multilevel models, working knowledge of Stata, and an interest in quantitative intersectional analysis. This event is free but registration is required: please sign up via Eventbrite.
The workshop will be followed by a reception to mark the launch of Intersectional Multilevel Modelling: Theory and Applications in Stata. This is the first comprehensive introduction to intersectional multilevel modelling and its applications in quantitative social science research. The book explains how intersectionality can be operationalised through multilevel modelling, focusing on the MAIHDA approach and its extensions. It offers clear theoretical grounding, step-by-step Stata guidance, annotated code, and real examples from inequality research. Further details are available at www.intersectionalytics.com.
