Student-led Training

This training event focuses on a practical introduction to the variety of missing data methods in use across social scientific research. This event will navigate methodological best practices to implement into your own research – learning the pitfalls and ‘gold standard’ methods to handle missing data.

Social scientists researching marginalised communities face particular methodological and ethical considerations. Rather than seeing these considerations as obstacles to be overcome, this training will focus on how researchers can use digital ethnography and media content analysis to respect the needs of their participants, all without compromising the quality of data collected.

Wondering how other PhD researchers are working creatively across generations in the field? This peer-to-peer training will explore participatory and creative methodologies in interdisciplinary research, with a focus on co-analysis with children, young people and doctoral researchers. Attendees will hear from case studies applied to issues of sustainability and then will be invited to reflect on methodological opportunities in their own contexts.

Join this half day training to explore resources to support best practice in making your research Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible (FAIR). This software carpentry course offers guided and hands-on learning of the building blocks to design your own scalable and reproducible scientific workflow using Nextflow.

There are a lot of ways to conduct a systematic review. This full day workshop will provide participants with the information to engage with the varied research methods involved in conducting a systematic review, as well as to get hands on experience with every step of the process from designing a search prompt to synthesising the findings.
