SUMMARY:NCRM: Quant for Qual Researchers
DESCRIPTION:This course is aimed at researchers and teachers who have previously mostly worked in the qualitative tradition of research\, but wish to understand or begin to research in the quantitative tradition.  It assumes no more than a lay knowledge of quantitative methods (such as surveys or polling) and will take participants on a journey from the methodological and epistemological foundations of quantitative methods\, through design\, sampling and principles of analysis.  No prior statistical knowledge is required and the course will mostly follow a problem based learning approach.\nThe course covers: \n\nThe epistemological and methodological basis of quantitative methods and its challenges.\nBasic research design and quantitative – qualitative integration\nIntroduction to sampling\nIntroduction to questionnaire design and basic scaling\nSecondary analysis of existing data\nIntroduction to basic analysis techniques and significance\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\n Understand the reasoning underlying quantitative methods and their role in a pluralist approach to research\nLearn about basic design issues and how these inform methodological choices\nBe introduced to basic sampling decisions and techniques\nLearn how to go about designing a questionnaire and measure through simple scales\nBe aware of the possibilities of using existing data to answer research questions\nLearn about univariate and bivariate analysis\nUnderstand the concepts of central tendency and dispersion\nLearn how to use some simple descriptive statistics\n\nThis course is suitable for researchers or teachers of qualitative methods.  The course caters for academics\, or researchers in the government or third sector.  It is open to all levels from early career researchers to experienced qualitative researchers. \nPreparatory Reading \nWilliams\, M (2003)  Making Sense of Social Research. London: Sage. \nDe Vaus\, D (2013) Surveys in Social Research. 6th edition. London: Allen & Unwin. \n  \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:Bridging the Gap: Knowledge Exchange between PGRs and ECRs in Defence Research
DESCRIPTION:Tickets available here (limited number) \nJoin us to explore ways of navigating the field of Critical Defence Studies as an early career researcher. This one day opportunity is being put together by early career researchers for their peers on the basis of sharing experiences and the ‘things we wish we’d known’. It is a collaboration between the Defence Research Network (DRN) and the Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security (PaCCS) through which participants will be supported in working towards publication through a three-staged process involving two follow on PaCCS events. \nWhat is the Defence Research Network? \nThe Defence Research Network (DRN) is for PhD and early career researchers studying defence\, security or the Armed Forces in relation to policy\, strategy\, culture and society. We provide a platform to which PhD and early-career researchers can come together to share work\, ask for recommendations\, create a rapport with one another and support each other in the research process. To find out more check out defenceresearchnetwork.wordpress.com or follow us @DefenceResNet and to join please email defenceresearchnetwork@gmail.com. \nWhat is the Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security? \nThere is a pressing and complex challenge to address threats to security and substantial capacity within the research community to support this. The Partnership for Conflict\, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) is leading the response to this challenge. It is an initiative of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and was established in 2008 as the Global Uncertainties Programme. It aims to deliver high quality and cutting edge research to help improve our understanding of current and future global security challenges. To find out more check out paccsresearch.org.uk.

SUMMARY:NCRM: Drawing\, multimodality and interaction analytics
DESCRIPTION:Analysing embodied interaction enables researchers to study the qualitative details of communication and to do reliable coding of interaction for quantification. Some researchers use video stills and word processing software to add arrows and highlights. Others use simple sketches or tracings to present their research findings in their final published results. However\, until now\, no dedicated courses have been offered that teach drawing as a method for the transcription and analysis of social interaction.\nThis one-day course will introduce researchers to the theory and method of conversation analysis\, and to new graphical tools\, transcription methods\, and software systems that are available for multimodal analysis of audio-visual data. It will involve short presentations\, group discussions and practical work including video data gathering\, transcription and analysis. No special equipment is required\, although we encourage participants to bring some means of recording video (e.g. a phone or other digital camera). \nThis course is aimed at researchers across disciplines with an interest in face-to-face social interaction and communication (human or animal\, face-to-face or video-mediated). No prior experience of drawing or conversation and discourse analysis is necessary\, since we will cover the basics required to learn independently. \n  \nLearning outcomes \nThis course will introduce you to methods\, techniques and tools for analysing embodied social interaction. \n  \nThe course covers: \n\nConversation analytic methods for collecting\, transcribing and analysing video data.\n\n\nDrawing techniques for use in field notes and in exploratory data analysis sessions.\nHow to create and use multimodal transcripts for data analysis and presentation of results.\nSoftware tools for creating and sharing computer-readable graphical transcriptions.\nFuture directions for multimodal interaction analytics e.g. automation and open science.\n\nCost \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 \n  \nPlease head to the NCRM website for more details
