SUMMARY:Applying to run a UROP project - staff information session
DESCRIPTION:The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) is the University of Reading scheme that gives undergraduate students the chance to build their research experience\, and staff an extra pair of hands to support their research work over the summer. \nWe have two sessions coming up for staff interested in finding out more about the scheme: \nWednesday 16 September\, 13:00-14:00\, Webinar \nWednesday 4 November\, 13:00-14:00\, Webinar \nSession details \nThis session is intended for staff who are new to the scheme\, whether they are new to the University or just haven’t been involved before. It will give staff a chance to find out all about the UROP programme and how the application process works. \nStaff applying to be a Principal Investigator (PI) should be a permanent staff member or a member of staff on a fixed-term contract that runs until after Nov 2021. PDRAs can apply as a PI (with their supervisor as a Co-I) and PhD students may co-supervise projects (but not lead them). \nApplications to run a project will open in October 2020 and details can be found via www.reading.ac.uk/UROP \nPlease register:  \nIf you would like to join one of the webinars please add your details to this form.

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:University Public Lecture (online): What If 2016 Was the Most Consequential Election in American History
DESCRIPTION:What if 2016 was the most consequential election in American history? \nEvery election matters and this year US presidential race is no different. Given President Trump’s controversial first term record\, and more recently\, his poor handling of the health pandemic\, no wonder Democratic candidate\, Joe Biden\, has called this election the last chance to save American democracy. But COVID-19\, the economic crisis it precipitated\, and the Black Lives Matter protests have only exacerbated and highlighted issues that have plagued American politics and society for decades now. Trump is not a historical anomaly. \nWhat if 2016 altered forever the character of the nation? In this lecture\, historian Mara Oliva looks at the political\, economic and social reasons behind Trump’s rise to power\, the impact of his election on democracy at home and abroad and what this means for 2020. \nMara Oliva is Associate Professor of US political history at the University of Reading. \nTo register for this free event\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Children's half-term lecture (online): Cats\, Bats\, and Pointed Hats: Halloween and the history of witchcraft
DESCRIPTION:Children’s half-term lecture (online): Cats\, Bats\, and Pointed Hats: Halloween and the history of witchcraft \nAs shadowy figures walk our streets\, clutching broomsticks\, cauldrons\, and pointed hats\, we ask why witches and magic came to be associated with Hallowe’en. We’ll take a journey back to the 17th century to investigate beliefs about witchcraft in the past\, act as historical detectives gathering stories and evidence\, and find out where some of our Hallowe’en traditions really come from. \nHelen Parish is Professor of History at the University of Reading. She specialises in the history of religion and magic\, and the study of the relationship between the natural and the supernatural in Europe between 1400 and 1800. \nTo register for this free event\, please click here.

Firstly\, the paper examines how my African identity fits into a western discourse of being a researcher and their intersections with my other personalities as I world-travel. Secondly\, the paper elaborates on violence and intimidation in the field and how researchers may succeed or fail in negotiating such risks. \nPresentation\, followed by commentary and Q& A with discussants\, Dr. Yaw Adjei-Amoako and Dr. Vevila Dornelles \nJoin Microsoft Teams Meeting

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
