Session Details
This session will consist of a combination of presentations about ESRA's founding and development and how that reflects changes in the field of survey research and personal presentation by some of ESRA's early leaders. This comes from an initiative that the ESRA Board established to collection data on its founding and early development, especially from the poorly documented period before 2013. I have been in touch with eight early leaders of ESRA and there is considerable interest in such as session. As one noted, it would be an important "session for those that remember but more importantly for the very many young scholars who come and perhaps know little about the organisation."
