The Social Surveys Unit (SSU) is a multi-disciplinary research unit within the Centre for Social Science Research at the University of Cape Town. The Unit's goal is to contribute to innovation and improved quality in the design, conduct and critical analysis of social science surveys. This entails qualitative as well as quantitative research, with each informing the other. We emphasise methodological issues not only because we seek to improve the quality of data collection, but also because we recognize the importance of understanding how data is produced if our analysis is to be robust and compelling. We also emphasise the ethics of conducting research. The Director of the SSU is Prof Jeremy Seekings.
