A lecture titled "Envisioning the Survey Interview of the Future" is
scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 11, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Speaking will be Michael Schober, professor of psychology and dean at
the New School for Social Research. He is expected to discuss the
impact of new and emerging communication technologies on the survey
interview and to explore methods and criteria that can be used to
evaluate these technologies.
Schober studies how people coordinate their actions, the mental
processes underlying that coordination and how new technologies mediate
coordination. His research deals with interdisciplinary questions in
psychology, linguistics, human-computer interaction, music, public
opinion research and sociology.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Survey Research Center.
