SUMMARY:SPIN - Twenty Years of the Global War on Terror: Looking back\, looking forward
DESCRIPTION:Link to the event here\n\nSeptember 2021 marks the first in a series of twentieth anniversaries associated with what became known as the Global War on Terror. \nThough the UK and US have only just withdrawn military forces from Afghanistan\, bringing to a close\, for some\, this ‘longest war’\, conflicts in new regions are ongoing\, while the impact and legacies of the war will continue to be felt in the decades to come in countries across the globe. \nThis SPIN panel therefore brings together a range of experts on the war to reflect on what we now know (and still don’t) about its causes and its legacies. \nCovering the war on terror through its military occupations; the rise of new domestic and international surveillance and police powers; the development of new industries\, technologies and specialists in terrorism and counter-terrorism (including the rise of special operations’ manhunts and drone warfare); as well as the scandals of extraordinary rendition\, Guantanamo and torture\, and the challenges of accountability in an age of digital archives and misinformation. \n\n\nPlease join us to mark this important historical milestone. The event will be held online\, through Zoom. \nSign up available through Eventbrite page.

SUMMARY:Precarity\, prosperity\, and everything in between: PGR identity\, community\, and wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Link to the event here\n  \nJoin us as we bring together PGRs and supervisors across institutions and disciplines\, to explore the identities of a doctoral student.\nHow is your doctoral journey going? Are you surviving\, are you thriving\, have you got your sight set on the end-point or are you enjoying the wandering? Or do you feel stuck in one place or going round in circles? Are you a lone walker or a member of a tribe – or many tribes? What propels you\, and what stands in your way? \nJoin us for a day of discussing these topics\, as we bring together PGRs and supervisors across institutions and disciplines\, to explore what it means to be a doctoral student. We’ll look at how professional and scholarly identities are forged alongside personal\, social\, emotional\, political connections and identifications. We will engage in creative workshops and small group discussions to explore social identities and communities of belonging\, the obstacles and support mechanisms to your prospering and wellbeing\, and lay the grounds for research agenda and a network of support to PGR wellbeing. \n \nPlease note:\n\nDue to the pandemic\, we will be meeting online but will build in plenty of breaks in our schedule.\nThe meeting is open to social science and humanities doctoral researchers based at one of the SWDTP Universities or SWWDTP Universities but attendees do not need to be ESRC or AHRC funded. Due to the nature of the questions we are exploring\, this event is targeted at those from the 2nd year+ of the PhD.\nWe only have limited places available. By signing up you are making a firm commitment to attend. If you sign up and find that you cannot attend\, we ask that you let us know in sufficient time to find a replacement. If you have to cancel\, please email the organisers on s.djerasimovic@exeter.ac.uk no later than 30 August.\nJoining details for this online workshop will be provided prior to the workshop\, following registration. We look forward to seeing you there!\n\nFind more events like this 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:Standing Seminar in Critical Theory: Drop the debt\, before we drop dead
DESCRIPTION:Drop the debt\, before we drop dead:\nDiscussing the politics of sovereign debt\, ‘austerity’\, and the crisis of the nation state. Resonances from Greece\, Argentina and beyond\n  \nThe expansion and multiplication of public debt by nation-states have become a key factor of global capitalism in recent decades. Public debt functions as a pressure mechanism on national governments which in turn force their people to live in a permanent state of austerity. \nIn this event\, speakers will discuss the significant topic of sovereign debt\, capital and the nation-state. Together they will reflect on the ways in which indebtness is saving global capitalism and problematising social reproduction within the boundaries of the nation state by using Argentina and Greece as examples. \nPublic debt is functioning as a mechanism of pressure on states and peoples who are forced to live in permanent austerity. In this event\, we will discuss how massive indebtedness and the capitalist crisis threatens the reproduction of life and questions the institutions of bourgeois democracy. \nParticipants: \n\nWerner Bonefeld – Prof. Bonefeld is a Professor of politics at the University of York (UK).

SUMMARY:Communicating with non-academic audiences using Zines\, Blog-posts\, Podcasts and other creative methods
DESCRIPTION:Link to the event here\nIn this workshop MJ Barker explored the use of zines\, blog-posts\, podcasts\, and other creative methods to get research and academic ideas out to wider audiences\, and potentially as a form of ongoing self-care and/or reflexive practice through our work. MJ Barker talked about their own experiences working on Queer: A Graphic History and the follow up Graphic Guides to Gender and Sexuality\, as well as developing the self-care zines available on their website rewriting-the-rules.com\, and creating blog posts and podcasts for that website and for megjohnandjustin.com. During the workshop participants were invited to consider the ways in which they might use zines\, blog-posts\, podcasts\, and other methods themselves\, and given the opportunity to try out planning and creating content which might work for communicating their ideas to a wider audience. \n  \nWorkshop attendees were asked to reflect on a number of questions/provocations including: \n\nWhy communicate with non-academic audiences?\nWhat are your fears and concerns around communicating/working with non-academic audiences\, whether self-care and/or practical?\nWhat draws you in or makes you hold back?\n\nResponses included: \n\nconcerns around criticism\, misrepresentation; low self-esteem/confidence; worries about participants being identified\n\nStrategies suggested to counter some of the above included: \n\nInsist on a recording which you can review/approve prior to publication; [where appropriate] do the work with a contract- this doesn’t have to be onerous; take the control back and do things on your terms; seek help from the experts e.g. your Universities press office if you’re working with the press; seek training\, e.g. media training in advance; you might want to seek help/support for emotional challenges through informal networks\, or even formal networks if available; consider working with others/collaboratively to share the load/and ease anxieties\n\nDownload further reading and more in depth notes here

SUMMARY:Make Space: LGBTQ+ Experiences of Mental Health and Self Harm: A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:People who identify as LGBTQ+ are often at the sharp edge of social inequalities\, often facing disadvantage throughout a range of social systems. While there are conversations happening about LGBTQ+ mental health\, we do not believe they adequately explore (a) the systemic issues faced by the LGBTQ+ communities (b) the intersection of being both LGBTQ+ and someone with experience of self-harm. In this panel discussion\, we seek to give space and time to the ways in which we might think about and experience self-harm and mental health in relation to queerness.\nFacilitated by Make Space (makespaceco.org)\, an organisation co-founded by SWDTP student Courtney Sommer\, panellists will present their own perspectives on the topic\, and will also engage in broader discussion\, responding to questions from attendees. The panel brings together a number of exciting speakers\, who will provide vital\, nuanced perspectives. \nSpeakers include: \n  \n\nNim Ralph (they/them) – trans rights activist and freelance writer\, trainer\, and facilitator\nGinny Russel (she/her) – interdisciplinary Senior Lecturer in mental health at the University of Exeter\nTamara-Jade Kaz (she/her) – queer black creative facilitator and trainer based in London.\nBeth Ingram (she/they) – founder of youth peer support charity Hearts & Minds\nMax Cohen (he/him) – counsellor\, trainer and group facilitator based in Exeter.\n\nTo learn more about the speakers and to sign up visit: https://www.makespaceco.org/community-care-and-creativity/lgbtq-mental-health \nThis event is part of a wider program of events focussed exploring LGBTQ+ self-harm.

SUMMARY:Accessing Administrative and Sensitive Datasets through SafePods Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The SafePod Network (SPN) is a new service that will provide a network of standardised safe settings (known as SafePods) across the UK to enable approved researchers to access and use sensitive datasets to better understand our society and economy.  \nA wealth of government datasets\, as well as study and survey datasets will be available for secure access from SafePods. This will include new linked datasets created by Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK) projects\, such as the groundbreaking Data First programme at the Ministry of Justice\, and most datasets held by the Office for National Statistics’ Secure Research Service\, the UK Data Service and SAIL Databank.  \nSafePods will be primarily based at universities\, removing the travel and cost barriers for researchers to attend the handful of existing dedicated safe settings in the UK.  \nMany researchers across South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP) Universities are already working with the types of administrative and/or sensitive datasets that will be made available through SafePods\, and interest in these is now further increasing due to the pandemic.  \nThe installation of SafePods have now been completed at the Universities of Bath\, Bristol and Exeter and this webinar will provide information about the opportunities SafePods will bring\, and the practical steps you will need to follow to use them.  \nThis webinar is being co-ordinated by the SWDTP\, with contributions from SafePod technical leads and academics across the partnership. Researchers across all stages are welcome to attend this webinar\, including undergraduates\, postgraduates and academics\, but advanced registration is essential via Eventbrite. Click here to access the Eventbrite and book your tickets! \nWebinar agenda \nBrief Welcome SWDTP Deputy Director\, Angeline Barrett  \nShort introduction to SafePods and the SafePod Network: what they enable\, and which datasets can be accessed\, Chris Playford\, University of Exeter  \nExample research projects enabled by the SafePods  \n – Helen Simpson\, Economics\, University of Bristol  \n – Alexey Bessudnov\, Sociology\, University of Exeter  \nPractical guidance on:  \n – Applying to access datasets\, Chris Playford  \n – Practicalities of using a SafePod\, Zosia Beckles/Debra Hiom  \nQ&A

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:SWDTP-Funded Bespoke Qualitative Training: Evaluating Qualitative Research
DESCRIPTION:https://www.bath.ac.uk/events/evaluating-qualitative-research/ \nIn this workshop we will explore how the quality of qualitative research is judged. \nWe discuss the criteria beyond traditional generalisability\, reliability\, replicability\, and validity\, to include: \n\ntrustworthiness (of both processes and results)\nplausibility (of claims to new knowledge)\nrichness (of empirical material)\n\nWorkshop leader\nDr Svetlana Cicmil is Director of Doctoral Research in Business and Law\, at UWE\, Bristol\, an internationally recognised scholar and experienced supervisor and examiner of postgraduate research theses. \nHer professorship is in the social study of global operations\, particularly focusing on management practices in the context of complex projects and the global sustainability agenda. Theoretically and philosophically\, Svetlana’s work is grounded in complexity thinking and Aristotelian notion of phronesis (practical wisdom). She has used a variety of qualitative methods in her research\, including active interviewing and participative discussion groups. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact us
