A collection of webinars featuring presentations by over 30 social science researchers about conducting data analysis in actual research projects. Throughout the series, we will explore all kinds of data, methods, approaches, and stages of data analysis. In addition to the achievements and breakthrough findings, we will also highlight the nitty gritty details – the challenges, frustrations, surprises and change of plans that researchers could expect. Through these reflections, we hope to help PGRs and other researchers be better prepared for the ups and downs of their data analysis journey.
