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?

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

SUMMARY:Biscuits to Big Tech: Reading's rise to economic prosperity
DESCRIPTION:University Public Lecture Series \nProfessor Kathy Pain (Real Estate and Planning): Biscuits to Big Tech: Reading’s rise to economic prosperity \nReading was once a sleepy county town famed for its ‘beer\, biscuits and bulbs’ but today it is a hub for high-tech industry with international links. How did it get that way and how can we make sure its economic success continues? \nIn this lecture\, Professor Kathy Pain will explore the town’s rise to prosperity and the future sustainability problems facing densely developed urban regions like Reading. She will draw on her research which shows how investing in so-called ‘good density’ – well-designed and compact cities with affordable public transport; available jobs and talent; and ‘green and blue infrastructure’ such as hedgerows and waterways – could help secure Reading’s future success in a changing economic landscape. \nKathy Pain is Professor of Real Estate Development at the University of Reading\, Henley Business School. Her research focuses on sustainable city and regional development\, governance and planning in today’s interconnected world economy. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.

SUMMARY:The Private Sector and Global Nutrition: Are Businesses Heroes or Villains?
DESCRIPTION:Alumni Lecture \nProfessor Lawrence Haddad\, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition \nThe University of Reading is proud to announce that the next event in the inspirational Alumni Lecture Series will feature alumnus Professor Lawrence Haddad (BSc Food Science and Food Education\, 1980). \nLawrence is a British economist who has forged an influential career in food\, agriculture and nutrition. He is currently Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). In 2018 Lawrence was co-recipient of the prestigious World Food Prize for “extraordinary intellectual and policy leadership in bringing maternal and child nutrition to the forefront of the global food security agenda and thereby significantly reducing childhood stunting”. \nOne in three people globally are malnourished. If we keep doing what we are doing\, we will fall far short of the global goals the world has set for 2030. How to change the dynamic? One glaring gap is the public sector’s failure to engage the private sector properly to help advance nutrition. Most people buy their food\, even in poorer countries\, and in doing so they are engaging the private sector. So ignoring businesses is not an option. But engaging them sensibly is also not easy. Which companies\, in which circumstances\, and for which population groups? How do maximise positives and avoid negatives? Businesses are part of the problem of malnutrition\, but also have to be a bigger part of the solution. This talk outlines some of the ways to stimulate this transition of the private sector from sometime villains to frequent heroes.
