WVS Webinar Series: Understanding Global Values and Social Change
The WVS Webinar Series is a monthly online event designed to explore key global issues through the lens of the World Values Survey. Organized by the World Values Survey Association, this series brings together experts, researchers, and analysts, providing a dynamic platform for exploring how values and beliefs shape societies across time and regions.
Each session features researchers who utilize WVS data—alone or in combination with other datasets—to examine critical social, political, and cultural issues. The topics covered span a wide spectrum, from democratic governance, social trust, and economic development to shifting cultural norms and public attitudes toward global challenges. Alongside substantive analysis, the series also addresses methodological advancements, offering discussions on innovative approaches to studying values through large-scale survey data.
The webinars are designed to be engaging and interactive, with research presentations followed by discussions and audience Q&A. This format encourages an exchange of ideas among academics, policymakers, students, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of global value shifts and their implications.
Held on a monthly basis, the WVS Webinar Series is free to attend, making cutting-edge research accessible to a broad audience. Recordings of past sessions are also available for those interested in revisiting key discussions.
