Introducing the Potential Outcomes Framework

Join us for a one-hour seminar with Dr Charles Lanfear as he introduces the Potential Outcomes Framework, a foundational approach to causal inference in the social sciences and beyond. This seminar will provide a clear, accessible overview of key concepts, including counterfactual reasoning, treatment effects, and the assumptions necessary for causal identification. Designed for researchers and students new to causal inference, this session will emphasise intuition and practical applications. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how to frame causal questions and assess causal claims using this powerful framework.
