SUMMARY:Introduction to Bayesian Statistics for Social Scientists
DESCRIPTION:This course will familiarise students with the basic concepts of Bayesian theory. It is designed to provide an introduction to the principles\, methods\, and applications of Bayesian statistics. Bayesian statistics offers a powerful framework for data analysis and inference\, allowing for the incorporation of prior knowledge and uncertainty in a coherent and systematic manner. \n\nThe course covers: \n\nThe Basics of Probability\nBayes’ Theorem and Bayesian inference\nProbability Functions\nBayesian Conjugates\nMarkov Chain Monte Carlo\nApplications\n\n  \nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to understand the basics of Bayesian analysis\nPerform simple Bayesian analyses\nApply simple models to their own work\n\n  \nThe course will be split across two days. On both days\, participants will work through a two-hour pre-recorded lecture in the morning and attend a two-hour live session at 2pm where they will have the opportunity to apply their learning to practical examples.

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: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:Introduction to Longitudinal Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:In this course you will learn both how to clean longitudinal data as well as the main statistical models used to analyse it. The course will cover three fundamental frameworks for analysing longitudinal data: multilevel modelling\, structural equation modelling and event history analysis. \nThe course is organised as a mixture of lectures and hands-on practicals using real-world data. During the course\, there will also be opportunities to discuss also how to apply these models in your own research. \n  \nOutcomes: \n\nTo gain competence in the concepts\, designs and terms of longitudinal research.\nTo be able to apply a range of different methods for longitudinal data analysis.\nTo have a general understanding of how each method represents different kinds of longitudinal processes.\nTo be able to choose a design\, a plausible model and an appropriate method of analysis for a range of research questions.\n\n\nTopics covered by session \n\n13.03.2025  – Data cleaning and visualization of longitudinal data \n21.03.2025 – Cross-lagged models (covering also an introduction to Structural Equation Modelling and auto-regressive models) \n28.03.2025 – Multilevel model of change (covering also an introduction to multilevel modelling) \n04.04.2025 –  Latent Growth Modelling \n11.04.2025  – Survival models (also known as event history analysis)

SUMMARY:Excellence at Interview- Grants and Jobs Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:An interview is a precious opportunity to make a positive\, memorable impression and advance a researcher’s career. Thorough preparation is vital\, and that means working on style as well as content. The way candidates conduct themselves\, present ideas and respond to questions has a powerful influence on the way they are perceived. Even an academic front-runner can come unstuck if he or she lacks ‘presence’ and has difficulty interacting with others. \n  \nThe topics addressed include: \n• Principles of effective interviews \n• Managing nerves and appearing confident \n• Achieving physical and vocal presence \n• Engaging the interview panel \n• Responding convincingly to questions. \n  \nCourse participants learn how to do themselves justice under interview conditions. They develop a clearer\, more authoritative interview style that allows the strength of their ideas to shine through. After the course\, you’ll be able to get access to a course summary\, follow-up material and the VOX Academy – an online repository of written guidance\, lively videos and other resources to help you extend your learning and take your communication skills to the next level.

SUMMARY:How to Build and Measure Impact
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help you understand the principles of different kinds of impact (academic\, societal and economic)\, how to identify the intended impacts of research and potential beneficiaries\, how to plan activities that will help achieve those intended impacts and how to measure progress towards these impacts. We will work through a ‘glucard TM building blocks’ plan for impact using a case study. You will be able to refine\, adapt and review the tool for use for your current research or as you plan future projects\, whether these are within or outwith an academic setting. The workshop will help free your creative thinking by getting ideas down on paper\, increase awareness about how to make impact integral to your work in practical and tangible ways\, and grow your capabilities and confidence to take actions forward. It will also help you show you that\, when planned alongside a PhD or project\, evaluation also enables you to continually improve your research strategy\, adapt your approach to enable greater impacts\, and help develop sought-after transferable skills. Sabina will graphically illustrate concepts and demonstrate tools by sharing live visualisations. The workshop is supported by further guides and references and Sabina is open to participant questions after the workshop.

SUMMARY:Viva Survivor
DESCRIPTION:The viva is almost the end of the PhD. A lot of work leads to this point\, but often anxiety can mix with the sense of achievement at completing the thesis. For many candidates the time before the viva is filled with uncertainty about the day\, uncertainty about how to prepare well – and stress for what the viva might be like. \n  \nViva Survivor is for postgraduate researchers who want to know how to be ready for their viva. In this three-hour live webinar\, you will: \n• learn realistic expectations for the PhD viva; \n• identify key practical steps to take before submission; \n• explore practical strategies for preparation and the day of the viva. \n  \nTime will be spent exploring expectations for both in-person and video vivas\, and there will be plenty of time for Q&A over text chat. Viva Survivor will be delivered live by Dr Nathan Ryder over Zoom. Registration is limited.
