Session: Time Use Diary Data: Methodological Innovations
Time: Tuesday 5th July, 10:00 - 12:30
Convenors:
Professor J Gershuny (University of Oxford)
Professor Oriel Sullivan (University of Oxford)
Abstract Details
Time use diary data are increasingly used to understand the rhythms and patterns of everyday activities, and to provide rich pictures of the experienced quality of daily life. Archives of time use data now extend over 50 years across 25 countries, and there have been large recent increases in the number of publications based on this data across disciples such as Sociology, Economics and Psychology. In this session participants will gain an understanding of what time use data is, its substantive scope, recent methodological innovations in its application, and how they might consider utilising such data in their own research.
