IPUMS (Integrated Public Use Microdata Series) International is dedicated to collecting and distributing census and survey microdata from around the world. The project goals are to collect and preserve data and documentation, harmonize data, and disseminate the harmonized data free of charge. IPUMS International currently disseminates more than 500 census and survey datasets from 103 countries. In this presentation, the presenters will provide an overview of IPUMS (data availability, topical content, harmonization approach, and data access system) with specific emphasis on race, ethnicity and related information in available data from Latin America. Learn about the provenance of the data, the categorizations available, the research and documentation conducted to harmonize (where feasible) and how to access the data. Lara Cleveland is a researcher at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation, where she directs the international microdata projects of IPUMS. Lara holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Minnesota. Rodrigo Lovatón is a researcher at IPUMS International, where he supervises the processing and harmonization of new census and survey datasets. Rodrigo holds a Ph.D. in Applied Economics and a Masters in Public Policy from the University of Minnesota. Recording of the presentation is available (see Related works).
