This ONLINE writing retreat is designed to offer structured sessions of academic writing for PhD students with autism and ADHD. You do NOT need to have a diagnosis to attend this retreat. If you feel like you would benefit from an online workspace that accommodates neurodivergence, please come along!

The session will be run on a Discord server which allows you to engage both on video, and via text chat. Before the event, you will be sent instructions for how to join, both in written format and as a video. You can also take a look at the Discord website beforehand, if you like: https://discord.com/

We start the day with an introduction that discusses the kinds of challenges that Autism and ADHD can present in doctoral research, as well as strengths they confer. This is followed by discussion sessions on finding adaptive ways to work when handling executive dysfunction, or issues with your environment. The rest of the day is dedicated to writing, with short sessions to test out new ways to approach your work.

A full schedule for the day will be sent out at least a week in advance.

Quantitative Research Design and Analysis in Education and Policy Research new (3 of 4) In progress 10:00 - 12:00 Titan Teaching Room 2, New Museums Site

This module aims to provide a practical guide to developing research projects using quantitative methods. It will focus on quantitative research design, key statistical concepts and methods, applied social statistics in education research and social policy evaluation. While the illustrative examples will mainly come from education and policy research, the knowledge and skills acquired through this module may also apply to other quantitative social sciences research projects.

Outline

The module consists of four lectures (two-hours per session) including:

  • Lecture 1: Introduction to quantitative research design
  • Lecture 2: Key statistical concepts and methods
  • Lecture 3: Applied social statistics in education research
  • Lecture 4: Social policy evaluation

Contents

Lecture 1 will focus on how to design quantitative studies, including formulating research questions, engaging with theoretical and empirical evidence, developing hypothesises, as well as preparing relevant data.

Lecture 2 will cover some of the widely used statistical toolkits for data description and hypothesis testing, such as z-score, conference intervals, parametric and non-parametric tests, correlation and regression analyses.

Lecture 3 applies the principles of research design and key statistical methods to examples drawn from education research. It will highlight regression analyses and the interpretation of statistical outputs.

Lecture 4 will introduce causal inference methods, such as instrumental variables, difference-in-differences and regression discontinuity design, which are commonly used in social policy evaluation.

Doing Multivariate Analysis Using R (DMA 4) (1 of 4) Not bookable 10:00 - 12:00 CaRM pre-recorded lecture(s) on Moodle

This module will introduce you to the theory and practice of multivariate analysis, covering Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and logistic regressions. You will learn how to read published results critically, to do simple multivariate modelling yourself , and to interpret and write about your results intelligently.

Half of the module is based on pre-recorded lectures that can be accessed via the Moodle page where you will be introduced to statistical theory, concepts, and techniques. Although these pre-recorded lectures will be available for you to access over the academic year, it is important that you watch the appropriate pre-recorded lectures before the start of each corresponding practical workshop. The other half of the module consists two in-person practical workshops. In these workshops you will have the opportunity to apply the newly learned methods and techniques of multivariate regression by working through practical exercises using the software R. During the workshops staff and demonstrators will be at hand to answer answer any questions or issues you may have.

To get the most out of the course, you should also expect to spend some time between sessions having fun by building your own statistical models.

Intellectual Property and Commercial Relationships Between Academia and Industry new [Places] 10:00 - 12:00 Bioinformatics Training Facility - The Pembroke Teaching Rooms

This interactive 3 hour workshop, led by Patent Attorneys from Marks & Clerk will be divided into two distinct sessions.

Introduction to Intellectual Property (IP) In this session we provide a presentation on what IP is and the different forms it can come in, giving an overview of patents, designs, trade marks , copyright and trade secrets, explaining what each of these is and how they may be of value. The session then focusses on patents, with information given on the rights conferred by a patent and how someone would obtain a patent for their invention. In particular, we focus on the importance of novelty and inventive step of the claims of a patent application, as well as the importance of data to support your invention and how much data may be considered sufficient. Following this presentation, the students are given an interactive case study to work through in small groups. This case study takes a real world patent that was opposed and asks the students to assess whether patent claims that were filed in an appeal are novel and inventive over three pieces of prior art. This task is talked through thoroughly before students are asked to make a judgment in their groups. Each group will then feedback and we go through what the answer is and why this was interesting, focusing on how the data of the application combined with the prior art show that the invention is plausible.

Commercial Relationships between Academia and Industry In this session an overview of different relationships between academia and industry is given along with some of the benefits and pitfalls of these various relationships. We give an overview of what to look out for with grant funding and the importance of considering the different agendas of the parties involved in collaborative projects. This is followed by discussion of the various compromises that should be considered to maintain positive relationships with collaborators. Towards the end of the session there is discussion on considering the ownership of any results generated in collaborative projects.

CULP: French Intermediate 1 for Academic Purposes (LAP) (10 of 15) In progress 12:00 - 13:30 Language Centre, Teaching Room 1

Using close reading and translation of academic texts from their particular discipline, this weekly class is intended to help research students in the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences to develop their skills in reading French documents that they have come across or may meet in their research.

The course aims to develop strategies for reading longer texts faster through close analysis, grammatical and stylistic commentary, and translation. For example, literary texts with differing editions, stories with two or more translations into English that need to be compared and evaluated, poems of challenging originality or range of allusion.

Classes will be conducted in English, but there will be many opportunities to use French and practise reading aloud.

During the session you will be led through a selection of tasks/exercises recommended in the episode Pod Sheet. You will have the opportunity to work on these individually and then reflect back as a group.

Session 17: How to make the most of your 121's
