That’s a wrap for the #ESS2026! 7 weeks of in-person & online classes, seminars, discussions, and plenty of time together outside the classroom. A huge thank you to all our participants, instructors, guest speakers, & the ESS team for making it such a success. See you again next year!

This Wednesday, join the #ESS2026 Harold Clarke Speaker Series. Sarah Shair-Rosenfield will present "Consciously Spoken: The Gendered Language of Women’s Political Leadership" 📆 Wednesday 29 July, 6:30 pm 📍 EBS 2.2. 💻 Join the webinar ▶ essex-university.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #EssexSummerSchool

🎓 A big congratulations to Irine Kurtanidze and Zoe Schuck, recipients of the 2026 Vera E. Troeger Scholarship for Women in Political Methodology. We were delighted to recognise them yesterday during the Harold Clarke Speaker Series 🎉

📌 Friday 24 July ⏱️ From 6:30 in Wivenhoe (or 6pm from campus and scenic walk to the first stop)

I’ve seen a version of this presented at a conference and so I know that it’s a) very good and b) many miles up the street of my @essexsummerschool.bsky.social students on the Designing & Analysing Surveys class.
