Institute for Social Research
Sunghee Lee is a survey methodologist whose research interest evolves around improving data quality through inclusivity. As this has profound implications for equity in social programs and policy decisions, she has been examining specifically two data quality angles: representation and measurement. Her research focuses on identifying and addressing error sources that affect inclusivity, including coverage, nonresponse, translation, question order and response style, often in the intersection with cultural norms.
