SUMMARY:Conducting a Systematic Scoping Review: Methods and Insights from a Study on the Indian Diaspora and Education
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, part of our Conducting Literature Reviews webinar series\, explores the process of conducting a systematic scoping review. Using a worked example on education in the post-independence Indian diaspora\, the session will outline the five-stage framework of Arksey and O’Malley (2005)\, covering search strategies\, inclusion criteria\, and thematic analysis. It will also discuss challenges in refining search terms\, identifying relevant literature\, and synthesising findings. This presentation provides practical guidance for doctoral students on conducting rigorous scoping reviews and demonstrates their value in mapping research landscapes. \nThis presentation will be presented by Dr Rita Chawla-Duggan\, Associate Professor and Deputy Head of the Department of Education at The University of Bath. No interaction is expected\, but there will be Q&A during the session. \nReserve a space on our Ticket Tailor page: https://buytickets.at/swdtp/1620296

SUMMARY:Unlock the Power of Corpus-Based Techniques for systematic literature reviews
DESCRIPTION:Advances in computer technology made it possible to create and use large language databases often referred to as corpora in language studies. A recent development in the field is to apply corpus-based approaches to a wide range of areas beyond linguistic analysis (Pérez-Paredes\, 2021; Seale & Charteris-Black\, 2010). This interactive webinar will showcase how both quantitative and qualitative corpus analysis techniques—such as keyword analysis\, analysis of collocation (frequently co-occurring words)\, keywords in context\, and multi-word items—can be effectively utilized to identify and examine key themes for systematic literature reviews. Mastering corpus-based techniques is useful for researchers and PhD students as it allows for a more systematic and comprehensive analysis of existing literature. These skills enable participants to uncover patterns and themes that might be missed through traditional methods\, thereby enhancing the depth and rigour of research. \nThis session will be presented by Dr Reka Jablonkai\, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the Department of Education and Research Group Convenor for the Language in and for Education Research Group at The University of Bath. \nReserve a space on our Ticket Tailor page: https://buytickets.at/swdtp/1620092

SUMMARY:Creative Approaches to Ethical Qualitative Research
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Qualitative Research is running weekly online workshops for doctoral researchers funded by the South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP). This event is part of the CQRs Qualitative Innovation Series. \nFind out more about the series here\n \n  \n\nDr Shona McIntosh and Dr Rachel Wilder will discuss their recent work experimenting with creative\, inclusive and alternative ways to do ethical qualitative research. Drawing from the example of an online \nseminar series exploring methodologies for epistemic justice\, the speakers reflect on the issues of working collaboratively within hierarchical\, patriarchal and Euro-centred research traditions. They reflect on the potentials and limitations of creative approaches to foster ethical\, inclusive practice. \nThis work is underpinned by a commitment to and interest in epistemic justice theory (Fricker\, 2007) which focuses on whose knowledge is valued and whose voices are heard and listened to (e.g. Masaka\, 2019). \n  \nRegister your place here

SUMMARY:Feminist Perspectives and Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Sign up on Eventbrite here\n\nAbout the session\nTaking inspiration from the epistemological and theoretical critiques and developments in feminisms\, feminist methods and methodologies are about more than just including women in research or women studying women. \nFeminist methods tend to offer a challenge to knowledge production itself interlinked with feminist political intent\, ethical processes\, egalitarianism\, and the examination of power\, dominance\, inequality\, or discrimination. \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to the history of feminist methods in concert with the growth of feminist thought. We illustrate both specific methodologies developed in and through feminist thought\, and how feminist thought can be brought to bear on other methods and methodologies (e.g.\, interviews\, fieldwork\, ethnography\, media studies)\, as well as on other aspects of the research process (e.g.\, ethics\, representation). \n\nFind out more about the webinar series here

SUMMARY:NCRM - Introducing Institutional Ethnography: An Interdisciplinary Feminist Approach to Social Research
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce Institutional Ethnography (IE)\, an interdisciplinary feminist approach to social research that focuses on how texts and language organise our everyday lives. IE is not just a methodology\, but a comprehensive feminist ontology of how the social world works which advocates using a form of standpoint to explore from specific perspectives. IE research ‘takes sides’\, often researching as\, with\, and/or for\, marginalised groups who are often made invisible by\, or excluded from\, organisations and institutions.\nThe focus on texts – conceptualised as replicable materials objects that carry messages – allows IE researchers to ethnographically explore the organising power of language and institutions\, made material in institutional texts which act as bridges between different people and places. \nPresenter: Dr Orla Murray\, Dr Liz Ablett and Dr Adriana Suarez-Delucchi \nFind out more information and preparatory reading here \nThe overall aim of the workshop is to provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of institutional ethnography as an approach and the opportunity to translate their own research ideas and projects into an IE research proposal or small piece of text-focused analysis. This hands on workshop is suitable for students\, academics\, and anyone else interested in feminist methodologies\, text and discourse analysis\, and institutional or organisational ethnographies. No prior training in\, or knowledge of\, IE is required. \nThe course covers:\n\nAn overview of the work of feminist sociologist\, Dorothy Smith\, who developed Institutional Ethnography\nThree Institutional Ethnography case studies from Sociology and Human Geography\nThree text and discourse analysis methods within the Institutional Ethnography approach\nHow to translate your research ideas or projects into an Institutional Ethnography proposal/plan\n\nBy the end of the course participants will:\n\nunderstand of the origin and development of Institutional Ethnography\nknow how to use Institutional Ethnography to analyse texts\, processes\, and discourses\nhave an outline of how their research ideas could become an Institutional Ethnography project\n\nThe course is aimed at academics\, students\, any other qualitative researchers or policymakers interested in analysing organisational processes.  Participants must have at least some experience in qualitative research methods\, but no experience of Institutional Ethnography is required. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:NCRM - Random Effects Modelling - Advanced Issues
DESCRIPTION:Register here\nRandom effects models are applied in a range of social science domains (e.g. education\, health and economics). Across disciplines\, however\, they are often used for different purposes\, with different specifications\, or even with different terminologies. These differences may well reflect genuine complexities and ambiguities that are associated with their implementation. This two-day course will focus on selected advanced issues in the application of random effects models in social research contexts. It is most suited to empirical social science researchers with some previous experience in using statistical models with random effects. \nPresenter: Professor Paul Lambert \nFind more information here \nThe course will \n\nReview common uses of random effects models in the social sciences\nExplore enduring debates in the specification and exploitation of random effects models\nFacilitate virtual lab sessions designed to illustrate and investigate the contribution of random effects models\n\nParticipants will be supported in order to \n\nSecure a rigorous understanding the terminology and features associated with random effects models\nUnderstand different perspectives in important debates concerning the use of random effects\nEnhance practical skills in applying random effects models to statistical datasets\n\nParticipants should have experience of estimating statistical models including some previous experience working with random effects models\, for instance through multilevel modelling\, frailty modelling or longitudinal and panel models. \nThe participants will be invited to use their own computers in the virtual lab exercises. Participants should have at least one of the software packages Stata\, SPSS and R installed on their computers in order to participate in the virtual labs. \nThe course will be delivered on-line and run from 10:00 – 16:00 each day.

SUMMARY:SWDTP Funded Bespoke Qualitative Research Training: Preparing for speaking-based data collection
DESCRIPTION:This session will start at the point where you are ready to engage with your recruited sample and gather the data you need to help answer your research questions.\nWe will consider the practical steps required to set the scene for rigorous quality data collection. This will include preparing and piloting a research instrument and considering and piloting projective and enabling techniques. \nWe will explore ways of managing participants to maximise rapport\, overcome pitfalls (for example\, tricky power relations)\, and explore the particularities of ‘places’ to conduct your research. \nConducting online research will be an important topic for discussion. A key focus will be on exploring how best to prepare for research that enables meaningful insights from the opening up of creative\, reflexive research participants\, and how to avoid shutting topics and interactions down. \nThe Centre for Qualitative Research is running a series of South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP)-Funded Bespoke Qualitative Training Workshops. View an overview of all workshops in this series. \nThis workshop is part of the main training package. The main training package focuses on from planning to product: the process of conducting qualitative research. This will consist of a series of 7 bespoke online seminars delivered monthly to up to 50 students by collaborators across the SWDTP universities. \n

SUMMARY:NCRM: Introduction to Data Linkage and Analysing Linked Data
DESCRIPTION:This short course is designed to give participants a practical introduction to data linkage and is aimed at both analysts intending to link data themselves and researchers who want to understand more about the linkage process and its implications for analysis of linked data—particularly the implications of linkage error. Day 1 (Introduction to Data Linkage) will cover examples of the uses of data linkage\, data preparation\, and methods for linkage (including deterministic and probabilistic approaches). Day 2 (Introduction to Analysing Linked Data) will cover processing of linked data\, concepts of linkage error and bias\, and handling linkage error in analysis. Examples will be drawn predominantly from health data but the concepts will apply to many other areas. This course includes a mixture of lectures and practical sessions that will enable participants to put theory into practice.\nThe course covers: \n\nOverview of data linkage (data linkage systems\, benefits of data linkage\, types of projects)\nOverview of linkage methods (deterministic and probabilistic\, privacy-preserving)\nThe linkage process (data preparation\, blocking\, classification)\nClassifying linkage designs\nEvaluating linkage quality and bias (types of error\, analysis of linked data)\nReporting analysis of linked data\nPractical sessions (no coding required; see below)\n\n  \nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nUnderstand the background and theory of data linkage methods\n\n\nPerform deterministic and probabilistic linkage\nEvaluate the success of data linkage\n\n\nAppropriately report analysis based on linked data\n\n  \nThe course is aimed at analysts and researchers who need to gain an understanding of data linkage techniques and of how to analyse linked data. The course provides an introduction to data linkage theory and methods for those who might be implementing data linkage or using linked data in their own work. Participants may be academic researchers in the social and health sciences or may work in government\, survey agencies\, official statistics\, for charities or the private sector. \nThe course does not assume any prior knowledge of data linkage.

SUMMARY:NCRM: Introduction to Spatial Data and Using R as a GIS
DESCRIPTION:In this one day course we will explore how to use R to import\, manage and process spatial data. We will also cover the process of making choropleth maps\, as well as some basic spatial analysis. Finally\, we will cover the use of loops to make multiple maps quickly and easily\, one of the major benefits of using a scripting language to make maps\, rather than traditional graphic point-and-click interface.\nThe course covers: \n\nUsing R to import\, manage and process spatial data\nDesign and creation of choropleth maps\nBasic spatial analysis\nWorking with loops in R to create multiple maps\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nUse R to read in CSV data & spatial data\nKnow how to plot spatial data using R\nJoin spatial data to attribute data\nCustomize colour and classification methods\nUnderstand how to use loops to make multiple maps\nKnow how to reproject spatial data\nBe able to perform point in polygon operations\nKnow how to write shapefiles\n\nThis course is ideal for anyone who wishes to use spatial data in their role. This includes government & other public sector researchers who have data with some spatial information (e.g. address\, postcode\, etc.) which they wish to show on a map. This course is also suitable for those who wish to have an overview of what spatial data can be used for. No previous experience of spatial data or coding is required\, although participants would benefit from some experience of using spatial data (e.g. Google Maps). \n  \nThe fee per teaching day is: \n• £30 per day for UK/EU registered students\n• £60 per day for staff at UK/EU academic institutions\, UK/EU Research Councils researchers\, UK/EU public sector staff and staff at UK/EU registered charity organisations and recognised UK/EU research institutions.\n• £220 per day for all other participants \nAll fees include event materials\, lunch\, morning and afternoon tea.

SUMMARY:NCRM: How to write your Methodology Chapter
DESCRIPTION:This workshop aims to give participants a range of practical approaches they can adopt when writing about methodology in the social sciences\, with a particular focus on writing a PhD methodology chapter. Using a range of exercises throughout\, the course focuses on 20 or so writing strategies and thought experiments designed to provide more clarity and power to the often-difficult challenge of writing about methods. The course also looks at common mistakes and how to avoid them when writing about methods. The focus throughout is on building confidence and increasing our repertoire of writing strategies and skills.\nThe course covers: \n\nA range of practical writing strategies for handling methodology\nThe challenges of writing a PhD methodology chapter or a methods section in a research paper\nWriting for qualitative and quantitative research approaches\nUnderstanding different audiences and the needs of different academic markets\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBetter understand who and what ‘methodology writing’ is for\nKnow the differences and similarities between PhD methods chapters\, research paper methods sections and methods books\nUnderstand and reflect on 20+ principles (or starting points) of best practice in methodology writing\nFocus writing on audience needs and expectations\nBe aware of common mistakes and misunderstandings and so avoid them\nReflect on the relationship between methodology writing and other parts of your manuscript\nTo develop learning and best practice through exercises and examples\n\nThis course is aimed at PhD students\, post-docs and junior researchers in the social sciences working on their doctoral theses or supervising doctoral students. \nParticipants should bring either a laptop/tablet or a writing pad in order to do writing exercises (please ensure they are fully charged). \n  \nThe fee per teaching day is: \n• £30 per day for UK/EU registered students\n• £60 per day for staff at UK/EU academic institutions\, UK/EU Research Councils researchers\, UK/EU public sector staff and staff at UK/EU registered charity organisations and recognised UK/EU research institutions.\n• £220 per day for all other participants \nAll fees include event materials\, lunch\, morning and afternoon tea.

SUMMARY:NCRM: Using smartphone sensors\, apps and wearables in Social Science Research
DESCRIPTION:Smartphone sensors (e.g.\, GPS\, camera\, accelerometer)\, apps\, and wearables (e.g.\, smartwatches\, fitness bracelets) allow researchers to collect rich behavioral data\, potentially with less measurement error and lower respondent burden than self-reports through surveys. Passive mobile data collection (e.g.\, location tracking\, call logs\, browsing history) and respondents performing additional tasks on smartphones (e.g.\, taking pictures\, scanning receipts) can augment or replace self-reports in surveys. However\, there are multiple challenges to collecting these data: participant selectivity\, (non)willingness to provide sensor data or perform additional tasks\, privacy concerns and ethical issues\, quality and usefulness of the data\, and practical issues of implementation. This course will address the challenges by reviewing state-of-the-art practices of smartphone sensor\, app\, and wearables data collection\, ranging from small-scale studies of hard-to-reach populations to large-scale studies to produce official statistics\, and discuss design best-practices for this type of measurement. Recommendations provided will include:\n•   What research questions can be answered using smartphone sensors\, apps\, and wearables? \n•   What are participants’ concerns and how to address them? \n•   How to ask for consent for sensor measurements and ensure participation? \n•   How to ease into sensor data analysis? \nAs part of this course\, participants will have the chance to work on practical issues of implementing smartphone sensors\, apps\, and wearables into social science research. Participants will discuss their own research study designs using new technology and have the opportunity to get hands-on practice with data from health\, accelerometery\, and location sensors. The course will not discuss how to collect and analyse “found” data (e.g.\, social media data) nor demonstrate how to program smartphone sensor apps. \nThe course covers: \n\nContemporary uses of sensor-based data collection in the social sciences\nDesign of surveys with sensor-based data collection components\nOverview of practical issues when implementing smartphone sensors\, apps\, and wearables studies and recommendations\nIntroduction to accessing and working with sensor data\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nknow what smartphone sensors\, apps\, and wearables are available and what they can measure to facilitate and enhance surveys\nbe able to identify potential applications of sensor and app measurement for their own data collection\nbe able to anticipate practical issues when implementing sensor-based data collection\n\nParticipants will perform basic analysis of sensor-collected data using software that they are most comfortable with (SPSS\, R\, Stata\, MS Excel etc.). R syntax will be provided\, which can be modified to SPSS or Stata syntax if R is not used. No prior knowledge of smartphone sensors\, wearables\, and apps is required\, but a basic understanding of survey practice and survey errors is helpful. Basic data analysis skills are beneficial. \nThe course is intended for survey practitioners\, researchers\, and students who want a practical introduction to smartphone sensors\, wearables and app-based research. \nParticipants should bring their smartphones and laptops and any wearables (e.g.\, fitness bracelets\, smartwatches) if available. \n  \nThe fee per teaching day is: \n• £30 per day for UK/EU registered students\n• £60 per day for staff at UK/EU academic institutions\, UK/EU Research Councils researchers\, UK/EU public sector staff and staff at UK/EU registered charity organisations and recognised UK/EU research institutions.\n• £220 per day for all other participants \nAll fees include event materials and refreshments. They do not include lunch\, travel and accommodation costs.
