This years’ Student-Led Symposium will take place at the University of Stirling on the 17th May. The theme is interdisciplinarity and wellbeing from the PGR perspective. It will provide an opportunity to learn about interdisciplinary research in practice and wellbeing during your degree, plus time to socialise and connect with your social science community.
This event introduces participants to ethnographic research, and specifically ‘pure’ ethnography, visual- and mobile-ethnography, autoethnography, and netnography. This fully interactive event will interest students planning…
The course considers key social debates that flow from demographic change such as overpopulation, fertility decline, rural population sustainability and population ageing. You will learn about the demographic data and methods and theory that underpin such debates with hands-on opportunities to undertake analysis using real demographic data.
This workshop looks at the aftermath of a mass atrocity, a temporal moment when the killings are over and questions of justice and remembrance come to the fore. Through comparative studies of historical and contemporary mass atrocities, the workshop will create opportunities to interrogate notions of transitional justice and impunity.
This workshop focuses on the production of data via surveys, helping participants design survey questions in an inclusive, transparent and reflexive manner.
This one-day course will outline the fundamental concepts and approaches for estimating trajectories of change for social science phenomena, and includes practical examples and exercises using R and Stata.
This training session, using a variety of data sources including interviews with Donald Trump, a US defender of the political right, and a speech from Jeremy Hunt, explores different ways of coding qualitative data.
The workshop will teach the art of spotting a natural experiment and undertaking robust analysis to provide evidence for causal associations between social variables. You'll be introduced to the statistical models that are used to analyse natural experiments and have hands on opportunity to fit a difference in difference model and an interrupted time series model.
This workshop will consider how museums, galleries, and universities curate and exhibit their colonial acquisitions and ethnological collections. We will also discuss alternative archives that use 3D imaging, storyworlding, and architectural technologies to rethink conventional archives and bring to the surface marginalised and concealed histories.
We will provide a beginner’s introduction to quantitative data visualisation using the statistical programming language R. We expect no prior knowledge of using R, this is meant for complete beginners, but more experienced users are welcome.
There is an unprecedented amount of information on the internet that could usefully be harvested in order to build social science research datasets. This half-day course will showcase suitable techniques for web scraping.
This workshop is aimed at people who are considering and/or actively designing a project that compares case studies. It is cross-disciplinary across the social sciences.
A good way to share your research (or teach it!) is to make an interactive game based around them. This session uses 'Twine', a free tool for telling interactive, non-linear stories and publishing them on the web, to both demonstrate how to make such a story, as well as teaching participants the basics of the tool so that they can make their own.
After an exciting day of learning new things and meeting your fellow PhD students, why not come and win some prizes at our legendary SGSSS Summer School Quiz Night?
Many theoretical concepts in the social sciences cannot be easily observed directly. This workshop will introduce latent class analysis, and you will learn how to undertake and interpret analyses using this method.
