SUMMARY:EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMICS JOB MARKET\, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK
DESCRIPTION:The Qatar Centre for Global Banking and Finance is delighted to offer a workshop aimed at economics PhD students preparing for “the job market”. The workshop will consist of an afternoon of panel discussions and Q&A sessions. Various myths and misunderstandings surround the job market\, making the process more stressful and complicated than it needs to be. We hope to dispel those myths by starting a friendly discussion between (and among) students\, academics\, and private-sector recruiters. \nThis event (at KBS’s Bush House on July 4th) is open to all Economics PhD students at UK departments (not only macro and not only at King’s College London) and will be run in person. We encourage students at any stage of their PhD to sign up. Please note\, however\, in the case of capacity constraints\, priority will be given to students intending to go on the market in 2022/23. \nIf you wish to attend\, please register here and kindly complete this form. \nAny questions? Please email qcgbf.phd.event@gmail.com \nWe will discuss various mechanical aspects of the market (what to expect at interview\, how to market your paper\, etc.). Panelists include employees from: \n\nAcademic: Bank of England\, Institute for Fiscal Studies\, University of Oxford and Banque de France\nPrivate sector: BlackRock\, Goldman Sachs\, NERA Economic Consulting\, and Deliveroo\n\nYou will also get to hear from recent PhD graduates who will share their experiences of navigating the economics job market. In addition\, the finalists of QCGBF’s Young Economist Prize competition will present their work at the end of the day.

SUMMARY:Your Career: Objectives\, Actions\, and Obstacles
DESCRIPTION:Places are available for LAHPs final careers workshop of the academic year: Your Career: Objectives\, Actions and Obstacles which takes place onsite at Keats House in Hampstead on Monday 27th June 2022 from 9:30am-5pm. This workshop is available to non- LAHP students.  \nThe workshop will be provided by the Menagerie theatre company \nWorkshop overview \nConveners: Patrick Morris & Caroline Rippin of Menagerie Theatre Company \nThis training session gets PhD students to think openly\, imaginatively and rigorously about their working futures. It culminates inall participants identifying a set of short and long-term objectives\, the actions they will take to achieve those objectives\, and the obstacles that stand in their way.  The session is framed around the following questions: \nWhat transferable skills have you built up while doing a PhD? \nWhat is your skills base\, for any career? \nWho ARE you and who MIGHT you be? \nParticipants work both collectively and individually – we design the activities to ensure that there is time and space to think in new ways about career paths. Key to the workshop is that participants challenge their own and each other’s thinking. Playful interaction is integral to the atmosphere and success of the workshop. \nWe use interaction\, storytelling techniques and self-reflective exercises to guide participants through the day\, which is built around them creating a narrative for their career. Participants both speak and write their ideas\, constantly re-drafting\, refining\, distilling and sometimes completely re-thinking. It is not a smooth path through the day but all participants come away with one chosen set of objectives\, actions and obstacles. \nBooking information \nPlaces can be booked via the workshop booking form on the website (linked below).  \nThe deadline for booking a place will be Thursday 22nd June at 12pm. \nThis workshop will be limited to a maximum of 12 attendees and places will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Jenny Cheshire Lecture 2022 - Miriam Meyerhoff
DESCRIPTION:On Aesthetics and Language Variation – Lecture by Miriam Meyerhoff \nMost people know that different ways of saying things sound “nice” or “funny” or “sexy”. But linguists are curiously reluctant to engage directly with the fact that we have an aesthetic response to language variation. Qualitative sociolinguists\, following anthropologist colleagues\, are more open to discussing attitudes\, ascriptions\, qualia and other forms of overt aesthetic commentary. But variationists have largely shied away from the topic. In this paper\, I will suggest that covert aesthetic evaluations play a role in variation and change. The approach to aesthetics used here is less akin to a Western tradition of aesthetics\, and has more in common with Asian notions of aesthetics. I present two case studies of variation and change. One is an instance where aesthetic considerations seem to be feeding change\, the other is an instance where aesthetic factors seem to be retarding change. (This is work undertaken in collaboration with Norma Mendoza-Denton.) \nProfessor Miriam Meyerhoff is Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College\, Oxford University. She has made key research contributions in the fields of sociolinguistic variation\, language and dialect contact\, Creole linguistics\, language and gender\, linguistic theory\, and the symbolic construction of social identity through language. \nThe event will be in-person\, followed by a reception. It will not be live-streamed but will be recorded. Attendance is free but please register via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Are you a current PhD or PGR student who needs extra funding for fees\, living expenses\, research\, conference or 4th year PhD writing-up costs? Have you been adversely affected financially by the Covid-19 Coronavirus? \nIf the answer is ‘yes’\, then considering attending this webinar! \nIt’s all about funding from unusual places you probably haven’t heard of! As well as explaining the more ‘usual’ postgraduate funding options available\, it’s mainly about alternative grant-making bodies in Britain: principally charities\, trusts\, and foundations. \nCharities and trusts are seldom used by students\, but often make grants regardless of subject\, course\, or nationality. They are an excellent – but underrated – funding option. By the end of the course\, you’ll be able to: identify the appropriate alternative funding bodies for you\, find them via books and the internet\, and apply strongly and correctly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is based on an award-winning resource called the ‘Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding’. All participants will get free access (www.postgraduate-funding.com)! \nThe workshop will be delivered by Dr. Luke Blaxill\, who won 45 separate grants from charities and trusts as a postgraduate student and whose story has been featured in several national newspapers and on TV. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe deadline for booking a place will be Monday 30th May at 5pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar is open to doctoral students at LAHPs eight partner institutions (UCL\, KCL\, SAS\, QMUL\, LSE\, RCM\, RCA\, RCSSD) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlaces can be booked here via the booking form \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Structure \n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipation in the ‘active’ parts of the webinar is optional. You can simply dial in\, turn your camera off and listen to the whole webinar if you wish. Or you can be more active by posting questions to the facilitator\, posting input to the discussion sessions\, and indeed contributing directly to the optional flexi discussion at the end.

SUMMARY:Queen Mary University of London | Linguistics Department Seminar
DESCRIPTION:“A sociolinguistic perspective on why it is necessary to distinguish among types of creaky voice” \nRobert J. Podesva\nStanford University \nABSTRACT:\nAs discourses about creaky voice started circulating in the media a decade ago\, scholars have shed considerable light on its sociolinguistic complexity (Podesva 2013\, Lee 2015\, Becker et al. 2017\, Zimman 2017). This paper\, by providing evidence from two studies\, argues that attending to the phonetic complexity of creaky voice (Keating\, Garellek\, and Kreiman 2015) offers a clearer picture of its social patterning and indexicality. \nThe first study examines voice quality variation in a large corpus of spontaneous California English to evaluate the empirical validity of social discourses that characterize young women as the quintessential producers of creaky voice. Crucially\, creaky voice is quantified in a variety of ways – through binary classification as well as acoustic measures that each capture distinct phonetic properties. Results indicate that even though women exhibit a higher incidence of creak than men phrase-finally\, the gender difference disappears in earlier positions in the phrase\, a prosodic domain into which younger speakers have introduced creak. Further\, while women exhibit phonetically stronger creak than men overall\, young men and the oldest women rival younger women in this regard. That young men’s patterns resemble those of young women suggests that creaky voice presents indexical potentials that go beyond gender. \nThe second study investigates voice quality variation in an audiovisual corpus of dyadic interactions among young people in Northern California to probe the social indexicality of creaky voice. Previous discourse analytic studies (Grivičić and Nilep 2004\, Lee 2015\, Zimman 2017) have independently claimed that creaky voice indexes negative affect or disengagement. This study tests whether these claims can be generalized and also attempts to disentangle evaluative stance (negative affect) from footing/alignment (disengagement). Speech classified as creaky was grouped into two clusters on the basis of 4 acoustic measures that capture different phonetic dimensions of voice quality. One cluster exhibiting the acoustic properties of what Keating et al. (2015) call “prototypical creak” was more likely to include words conveying lower arousal (based on computational approaches to sentiment analysis) and was characterized by less body movement (based on computer vision analysis). A second cluster with the acoustic properties of what might be more accurately labeled “vocal fry” was more likely to include words with negative valence and phrases with more negative sentiment. In conclusion\, acoustically distinct qualities of creaky voice (prototypical creak and vocal fry) conventionally index distinct interactional properties (disengagement and negative affect\, respectively). Teasing them apart would not be possible without making finer grained distinctions among vocal practices that all fall under the domain of “creak.” \nONLINE (Zoom link: https://qmul-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/87971879921?pwd=Z1o3V3crVWlIekR1MXBUNmI2Mm9xQT09)

SUMMARY:Doing Digital Research with The National Archives - Interactive Session
DESCRIPTION:Two sessions: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalk and Q&A – Thursday 26th May 10-11:30am \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInteractive session – Friday 27th May 10-11:30am \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe aim of this event is to get you thinking about how digital research skills may be of use in the cultural heritage sector\, both during your PhD and on the other side. There are no expectations for attendees to have specific digital skills\, and students at any stage in their PhD are welcome to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are thousands of digital resources and tools available online\, from programming to data science and beyond. But it can be hard to know where to begin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will try to cut through the jargon and identify some of the core technologies for working with arts and humanities data and the concepts behind them. It will provide the opportunity to learn about The National Archives work and actively engage with experts to explore some key digital ideas. It will also introduce attendees to techniques for digitally processing\, exploring and visualising cultural heritage data. Attendees will gain both conceptual knowledge and practical digital research skills and will leave with a clearer idea of how they can develop these further. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Talk/Q&A session on Thursday 26th May does not have an attendance limit but the interactive session on Friday 27th May has an attendance limit of 30. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlaces for both sessions can be registered here via the booking form \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe deadline for booking a place will be Friday 20th May at 12pm.

DESCRIPTION:Two sessions: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalk and Q&A – Thursday 26th May 10-11:30am \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInteractive session – Friday 27th May 10-11:30am \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe aim of this event is to get you thinking about how digital research skills may be of use in the cultural heritage sector\, both during your PhD and on the other side. There are no expectations for attendees to have specific digital skills\, and students at any stage in their PhD are welcome to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are thousands of digital resources and tools available online\, from programming to data science and beyond. But it can be hard to know where to begin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will try to cut through the jargon and identify some of the core technologies for working with arts and humanities data and the concepts behind them. It will provide the opportunity to learn about The National Archives work and actively engage with experts to explore some key digital ideas. It will also introduce attendees to techniques for digitally processing\, exploring and visualising cultural heritage data. Attendees will gain both conceptual knowledge and practical digital research skills and will leave with a clearer idea of how they can develop these further. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Talk/Q&A session on Thursday 26th May does not have an attendance limit but the interactive session on Friday 27th May has an attendance limit of 30. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlaces for both sessions can be registered here via the booking form \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe deadline for booking a place will be Friday 20th May at 12pm.

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.
