Gerald Gurin

ANES Principal Investigator 1952

Robert Kahn

Robert Kahn

ANES Principal Investigator 1948

Kahn began his studies looking to enter dentistry, only to become interested in teaching and American Studies at the University of Michigan. In absence of an American Studies major, Kahn graduated in 1939 with an honors degree in English and a minor in economics. Kahn then pursued a Master’s degree and received a teaching certificate. Though he wanted to continue in a doctorate program, uncontrollable circumstances led him to teaching in Detroit and gathering data for unemployment statistics. Though initially a secondary plan, this governmental job opened up a future in social science to the young Kahn. He soon was promoted to the state supervisor for the Michigan Employment Survey. Kahn sent monthly analyses to the federal government, and in 1942 the Census Bureau recruited him to work in the Washington. There he learned about quantitative survey methods and cemented his interest in pursuing survey research and social science. Thus, in 1948 Kahn returned to the University of Michigan to work in the newly established Survey Research Center. He continued to look into graduate programs and finally found a place within a new social psychology doctorate program at the University. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1952 while working to shape the new Institute and conduct research. He contributed to the field of survey methodology with one of his first books entitled, The Dynamics of Interviewing.

Warren E. Miller

Warren E. Miller

ANES Principal Investigator for over 20 years and founder of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)

Warren E. Miller played a seminal role in political behavioral studies and survey research at the University of Michigan and beyond. Miller received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Oregon in 1948 and 1950 respectively. He then attended Syracuse University to obtain a Doctorate in Philosophy by 1954, while also teaching for two years at the University of California-Berkeley. During his time at Syracuse and Berkeley, Miller conducted research the University of Michigan’s new Survey Research Center. Miller came to Ann Arbor in 1951 to work directly with Angus Campbell and Robert Kahn during the 1952 elections. Miller became a professor in the political science department at Michigan in 1956, although he continued to play a leading role in the Survey Research Center. In 1960 Miller co-authored The American Voter with Angus Campbell, Philip E. Converse, and Donald E. Stokes. This book, along with the 1966 publication Elections and Political Order, completely altered nationwide conceptions of voting behavior. Miller and his colleagues spearheaded the research and voter surveys that confirmed the importance of candidates’ personalities and values within these publications. The Survey Research Center transformed into a leader in political and electoral studies, increasing demand for data, training, and expertise. During the 1960s and 1970s, Miller consulted various news networks, developing better analytical election coverage. He coined the term “projection” that remains in use today when estimating election outcomes. To meet the demand for data and training, Miller founded the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) in 1962. With Miller as its first executive director, the ICPSR established a summer program in quantitative methods of social research and a growing archive of quantitative social science data. Years later in 1970, Miller founded the Center of Political Studies to utilize computers and surveys in better analyses of political behavior and the American voter. As the centers Principal Investigator from 1970 until 1981, Miller expanded the scope of the Center and secured funding from the National Science Foundation, which deemed the CPS a national resource for political scientists. Miller left his multiple roles at the University of Michigan to teach at Arizona State University starting in 1982. While serving as a professor, researcher, director, and consultant in Michigan and Arizona, Miller received countless awards and honors. The Frank J. Goodnow Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession of Political Science was due to his contributions to the field, but also in part to his service as President of the American Poltical Science Association. Moreover, several honors have been established in his name, like the ICPSR summer scholarship and the University of Michigan distinguished professor award. To this day, Warrren E. Miller is recognized as an innovator, an expert, and an unmatched asset to the field of field of electoral politics and voting behavior.
