SUMMARY:ILAS International Research Training Series - 2023/24
DESCRIPTION:ILAS International Research Training Series – 2023/24 \nUnlocking the Potential of Empirical Research:  An Introduction to R  \nfor Statistical Analysis and Data Visualisation  \nDescription: \nThis immersive research session goes through R programming\, a powerful tool for statistical analysis\, data manipulation\, and visualisation. This session aims to showcase the versatility of R in empirical research\, focusing on its applications in economics and health sciences. Participants will learn to import diverse datasets\, create basic graphs\, generate descriptive statistics\, and draw meaningful inferences. By the end of the session\, attendees will gain the skills to tackle R’s capabilities to analyse data and creatively apply their expertise to address specific research questions across various disciplines. Take advantage of this opportunity to elevate your research capabilities with R! \nCourse Instructor:   Luis Garcia-Covarrubias\,  University of Galway \n \nLuis currently serves as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the J E Cairnes School of Business and Economics\, University of Galway. Prior to this role\, Luis held the position of Research Statistics Officer at the University Hospital Galway.  Luis’ primary focus in research revolves around agricultural and environmental economics.

SUMMARY:Centre for Creative Technologies Masterclass Series: Co-Designing Socially Engaged Research: The Approach of Immersive Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Co-Designing Socially Engaged Research: The Approach of Immersive Empathy \n\n\n\n\nPart of the Masterclasses @ Centre for Creative Technologies collection. \n\n\n\n\nIntroducing the methods used on the Immersive Empathy project along with some of the ethical questions raised by socially engaged research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will also be streamed via Zoom – if you would prefer to attend online\, register at: https://universityofgalway-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Pe258ixkQGmJUdxCY4I_DQ \nMuch has been written about the power of virtual reality to put the viewer in someone else’s shoes and increase empathy towards those who experience social marginalization. However the wave of humanitarian VR films that have been produced in recent years has also raised questions about who gets to tell their stories and on whose terms they are invited to speak. Whilst viewers of virtual reality films can find themselves transported to a Syrian refugee camp or a slum in Kenya\, critics have argued that such films act less as challenges to inequalities than as a form of misery tourism. \nThe Immersive Empathy Project is an initiative of researchers within the disciplines of film\, drama\, psychology\, business and digital humanities at the University of Galway that responds to both the potential and the criticisms of immersive reality as a tool for social change. Working with clients of Galway Simon who have experienced homelessness\, it situates the principles of co-creation and consent at the heart of its storytelling process. Over the course of several months\, it involved a series of workshops that empowered the participants to tell their own stories and to translate those personal narratives into an immersive film\, Lost & Found\, exploring the experience of homelessness from the perspective of those who have lived it. \nThis masterclass will introduce participants to the methodologies employed on the Immersive Empathy project along with some of the ethical questions raised by socially engaged research. \nThe Immersive Empathy project has received funding from the Irish Research Council\, Science Foundation Ireland\, and the Illuminate fund\, run by the College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies at University of Galway. \n\nRegistration:\nCo-Designing Socially Engaged Research: The Approach of Immersive Empathy Tickets\, Tue\, Feb 27\, 2024 at 12:00 PM | Eventbrite
