SUMMARY:Sport and COVID: What do we know?
DESCRIPTION:Sport and COVID: What do we know?\nUniversity of Reading Public Lecture by Professor James Reade (Economics) \nSport\, like most aspects of our lives\, has been heavily disrupted by Covid-19. Even as a vaccine begins to be rolled out\, sporting events are being cancelled\, rescheduled\, or adapted to fit Covid-19. Sport without fans has become normal\, yet before March 2020 less than 200 elite football matches had ever taken place without fans in the stadium. Removing all fans has affected sports clubs financially\, and arguably also on the field – a number of academic studies have shown that this affects outcomes\, especially for the visiting team. Sports events are mass events\, and before now scant attention has been paid to their potential public health risk. Yet how much did they contribute to the first wave? Have they contributed at all in the second one? \nIn this talk Professor James Reade\, Head of Department of Economics\, will review the evidence that has been accumulated over the last year.

SUMMARY:Home-based reading study - call for families to participate
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to find out more about how your child reads? \nCan home-led reading and writing help close the COVID-19 learning gap that educators report especially for children with literacy difficulties or coming from diverse backgrounds? \nAt the University of Reading we are looking into it with an online study for parents/carers with children of primary-school age. We are looking for families of English-speaking and multilingual children of any reading level. The study will be open between December 2020 and January 2021. \nTake part by the 31 January 2021 to: \n\nReceive individual feedback on your child’s reading profile and expert advice with simple steps that you can do at home to help them improve\nEnter the £50 voucher prize-draw at the end of data collection.\n\nLearn more and participate at: \nhttps://reading.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/reading-activities-and-strategy-use-at-home-for-familiesc \nFor queries\, please contact the lead researcher Anna Tsakalaki: a.tsakalaki@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Methods for Participatory Development and Communications
DESCRIPTION:Global Research Division workshop \nUsing visual methods to enable participatory action-research: women and Zero-Budget Natural Farming in Andhra Pradesh\, India – Henny Osbahr and Grady Walker  \nWe use participatory photography when reporting on Zero-Budget Natural Farming approaches in Andhra Pradesh\, India. Reporting of sustainable agricultural innovation practice has not always created space for marginalised voices. Participatory action-research merges theory with action and participation\, while challenging institutionalised academic methods of collecting and curating knowledge. It relies on the accumulation of knowledge through participant action and seeks to advance the interests of underrepresented groups and classes\, including in policy debate. In this short presentation\, we will highlight how the approach was used to facilitate a channel for self-help groups of women to explain their often subjective reasons for adopting innovative rural practice. \nUnderstanding how participatory scenario planning can support learning for social-ecological resilience  – Sam Poskitt  \nParticipatory scenario planning (PSP) is widely used for public engagement and co-production by researchers and practitioners with the expectation that this can encourage learning that supports progress towards social-ecological resilience. However\, thus far there is limited theoretically informed analysis regarding how PSP may support learning in this context. In this presentation\, I will explain how I developed a conceptual framework to help understand how PSP can support learning and then applied this framework to an empirical study of learning in PSP processes that focuses on social-ecological resilience. \nOne step backwards\, one step sideways: notes at the margins of a participatory ethno-fiction – Lorenzo D’Angelo \nThis presentation aims to discuss the choices behind the making of a film shot in collaboration with people living in a gold-mining area in South-Western Uganda. Among other features\, this is a locality in which Ugandan security services keep an active eye on gold mining sites and on a researcher eager to film. Hence\, the presentation will reflect on issues such as: What is the relationship between reality\, fiction\, and storytelling? To what extent can collaborative ethnography be participatory? \n\,

SUMMARY:Methodologies for Global Development Research\,
DESCRIPTION:A Global Development Research Division workshop \nEthnographic perspectives on the drug trade – Tom Grisaffi  \nHow can you collect data on illegal activities? Tom will give a brief history of ethnographic methods and how he has used this approach to study politics and cocaine production in Bolivia and Peru. He will highlight three key areas: how to negotiate access\, how to conduct fieldwork\, and how to write up the data. \nThe ‘difference in differences’ methodology for impact evaluation – Stefania Lovo \n‘Difference in differences’ is a quantitative method for impact evaluation that uses observational data from before and after a particular event took place. It is widely used because it is intuitive and fairly flexible. In her presentation\, Stefania will provide a non-technical overview of how the method works and its main advantages using examples from her own research. \nThe walking interview: experiences from Mozambique – Alex Arnall  \nIn recent years there has been growing interest in the walking interview method\, during which the researcher accompanies people as they move around the landscape. Alex will share experiences of carrying out walking interviews with small-scale farmers in Mozambique – what the strengths of the method are plus some of the potential pitfalls. \nWhen no does not mean no: a story of gender preferences in online vacancies – Tho Pham \nTho will highlight the applications of machine learning in economics/development research with reference to a work-in-progress where she looks at gender preference hidden in online job ads. First\, she will describe the data collection procedure where job vacancies posted on various job sites are scrapped on daily basis. Second\, she will briefly discuss some machine learning techniques\, namely semi-supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Random Forest (RF)\, which are used to examine the job ads’ text to determine embedded gender preference. \nJoin Microsoft Teams Meeting

DESCRIPTION:Date and time: 29 September 2020 at 10am-11am\nLocation: Held virtually on Zoom\, details TBC\nName of organiser: Ben Laker \nWhat makes a great leader? Why are some leaders more successful than others? Is there a formula that one can follow to emulate the best of the best? \nJoin our webinar\, ‘The Leaders Secret Code’\, where we will divulge findings from the recently published book of the same name\, and gain insights that answer these very questions. Discover how a leader’s focus should be less on what they do and how they behave\, but more centred on what causes them to behave in the way they do – their beliefs and values.

SUMMARY:Insights into winning (and losing) grants as an early career researcher
DESCRIPTION:Insights into winning (and losing) grants as an early career researcher \nPhil Davies \nHenley Research Grant Webinar \nPhil Davies has recently won an EPSRC grant worth ~£100k alongside an industrial partner and has recently seen his ESRC New Investigators Grant (worth roughly ~£300k) pass review and make it to panel. Whilst Phil has now had a success and passed the first round of another grant\, Phil also has a few losses from which he can share his experience. The purpose of this webinar is therefore to give ECRs\, or anyone new to grant writing\, insight into the grant writing process\, what makes a successful grant and what doesn’t and some lessons learnt from winning and losing grants to support your grant bids going forward. Phil will also highlight a number of resources he found particular useful in writing his grants.  \nThe webinar will be roughly 20-30 minutes of presentation following by 30-40 minutes of Q&A \n  \nIf you wish to join the webinar\, please contact Jana Oslejova for an invite in Teams. \n  \nJana Oslejova \nDepartment Administrator—International Business and Strategy \nHenley Business School\, University of Reading \nj.oslejova@reading.ac.uk
