SUMMARY:Post PhD Reflections: What is academia and do I want to work in it?!
DESCRIPTION:This event will be a friendly opportunity for doctoral students to think about working in academia after they finish their PhDs. We will hear briefly from three speakers: Dr. Rana Khazbak\, Dr. Billy Holzberg\, and Dr. Amy Seakins before we open for general discussion and Q&A about academia after the PhD. \nYou don’t have to be certain you want to stay in academia to attend (lol\, is anyone)\, but the aim is to give us a chance to honestly chat about the options post-PhD and the experiences of peers who have made the transition out of their PhDs and into academic or non-academic posts in universities. \nWhile Rana and Billy currently hold academic posts at King’s\, Amy\, who previously completed her PhD at King’s and worked as a Research Associate for some time has now moved into the role of Deputy Head of Public Engagement at Imperial. \nRefreshments (alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and some snacks) will be provided\, so please only sign up for an in person ticket if you are able to come.

SUMMARY:Methods workshop: Identifying Hidden Patterns in your Data
DESCRIPTION:When: 3rd of May 2022: 9:30-17:30\nLocation: War Studies Department (room tbc)\nFormat: In-person \nThis transdisciplinary event will allow students and early career researchers to explore the power of quali-quantitative methods for processing and analysing large amounts of data. It starts from the assumption that many of the most popular approaches to analysing data about social phenomena (both qualitative and quantitative) can miss or omit certain key relations\, patterns\, and social dimensions. In the morning\, attendees will first hear how leading academics have deployed quali-quantitative techniques to uncover hidden elements that structure certain social spaces\, from the “field” of Eurocracy to EU Research and Development in border security. This will be followed in the afternoon by a hands-on\, interactive session to explore specific techniques (Correspondence Analysis\, Multiple Correspondence Analysis) and relevant software in more depth. \nEarly stage PHD students looking for ways to expand on their methods training or find new ways to collect and analyse their own data\, as well as PGRs and ECRs with prior knowledge/experience of the methods under discussion\, are all welcome. \nThe event follows a successful event on Visual Network Analysis in April\, and is a collaboration between the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) and the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. \nFor further details & to sign up\, please contact Liam McVay (liam.mcvay@kcl.ac.uk)or Josh Walmsley (josh.walmsley@kcl.ac.uk). \nSpeakers & Instructors\nFrédéric Lebaron is Professor of Sociology at the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and co-author of Bourdieu and Data Analysis: Methodological Principles and Practice. Professor Lebaron will discuss the utilisation of Geometric Data Analysis in his research into the European Economic Field. \nMédéric Martin-Mazé is Lecturer in the Department of Science at Paris 8 University Vincennes-Saint-Denis\, where his research spans across international organisations and security aid in postcolonial States. \nSarah Perret is Research Associate at the Department of War Studies of King’s College London\, working on the ECR Project Security Flows\, and holds Chair in Geopolitics of Risk at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. \nDr Martin-Mazé and Dr Perret will discuss their joint work using Multiple Correspondence Analysis to map the sociotechnical universe of EU borders.

SUMMARY:Methods Workshop: Visual Network Analysis and Transdisciplinary Approaches to Digital Methods
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides an introductory\, interactive seminar to allow PhD students and junior researchers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to explore and critically engage with innovative approaches to digital methods. PhD students looking for ways to expand on their methods training or find new ways to collect and analyse their own data are particularly welcome. In particular\, the workshop will explore visual network analysis as a powerful technique for studying social phenomena\, overcoming the conventional micro/macro and quali/quantitative divides through a hands-on\, practical training. The workshop will be delivered by two experts working at the forefront of digital methods. \nContact\nFor further details\, and to find out how to attend\, please contact the organisers: Liam McVay (liam.mcvay@kcl.ac.uk) or Josh Walmsley (josh.walmsley@kcl.ac.uk). \nInstructors\nTommaso Venturini\nResearcher at the CNRS Centre for Internet and Society\, associate professor at the Medi@lab of the University of Geneva\, and founder of the Public Data Lab. \nAxel Meunier\nResearch assistant at the Center for Internet and Society in the SoBigData++ project\, and PhD candidate in design at Goldsmiths College\, under the supervision of Tommaso Venturini\, Alex Wilkie and Michael Guggenheim. \nProgram\nMorning Session\, 9:30-12:30\n▪ Digital methods and quali-quantitative approaches\n▪ Tables and networks and the flattening of the description of the social world\n▪ Turning your networks into table with Table2Net \nLunch\, 12:30-13:30 \nAfternoon Session\, 13:30-17:00\n▪ Introduction to visual network analysis\n▪ Visualising and analysing your networks with Gephi\n▪ publishing your networks with Retin
