Autumn Term starts

Socio-economic and regional inequality in health - inequality measurement and survey measurement of health

Additional Place Info: Online

This three-day online course is aimed at postgraduate researchers and analysts interested in quantitative analysis of inequity and (socio-economic and regional) inequality in health and health care.

This consists of lectures and practical sessions on the measurement and interpretation of inequity and inequality in health and health care.

Specifically, this course provides a gentle introduction to the concept of inequity, socio-economic inequality, and inequality of opportunity in health, i.e., the “egalitarian” framework that does not necessarily indicate equality of the distribution of outcomes per se but emphasizes the role of individual responsibility in defining a “fair” distribution of health in the society.

(Supervised) machine learning techniques to conduct health inequality research will be also presented in this virtual short course.

The course is being run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences

Data Visualisation with R

Additional Place Info: Online

Data visualisation is one of the most important steps in any analysis journey.

Visualisations allow us to explore our data, identify errors and outliers, generate hypotheses about possible relationships between variables, and communicate results clearly and efficiently.

ggplot2 is a powerful R package that was designed to create publication-quality graphics in seconds. The joy of ggplot2 is its flexibility: graphs are built in layers which can be easily customised, ensuring novel plots to fit almost any situation.

This online course will introduce the ggplot2 package and its underlying grammar of graphics.

Participants will understand how to choose the most appropriate type of visualisation, based on the type and number of variables, and the intention of the plot. We will then build visualisations, layer by customisable layer, to transform simple plots into beautiful, informative graphics.

This course is run by the National Centre for Research Methods, which is based in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Four Qualitative Methods for Understanding Diverse Lives (for academics)

Additional Place Info: Online

In this one-day online training workshop you will be introduced to four qualitative research methods to better understand diverse lives – Photo Go-Alongs, Collage, Life History Interviews and Participant Packs.

When researching social groups, researchers may focus on categories such as age, gender, sexuality and so on. These categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas.

Treating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice.

The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when researching with any group.
