Longitudinal Analysis
Finished
Longitudinal data analysis is a statistical method used to examine data collected from the same subjects or entities over multiple time points. This type of data analysis is particularly valuable for understanding how variables change over time and for investigating trends, patterns, and relationships within a dynamic context. For instance, how does children’s early home environment affect their future mathematical development? Longitudinal data analysis holds several advantages, such as (1) understanding individual-level trajectories, enabling a deeper understanding of how different subjects respond to interventions or external factors over time, (2) supporting stronger causal inference by tracking changes before and after an intervention and (3) accounting for heterogeneity since it recognises that not all subjects respond uniformly to changes over time. Over the course of this module, participants will learn how to work with longitudinal data. Through hands-on exercises and practical examples, participants will gain proficiency in data manipulation, visualisation, and advanced statistical techniques tailored specifically for longitudinal data. From understanding growth trajectories to uncovering causal relationships, this module will empower participants to navigate the complexities of longitudinal data with confidence. It is suitable for postgraduate students and researchers at any stages of their study and research. However, foundational Stata skills are required. |

Yoga with Daisy Worzencraft is primarily about having fun, giving things a go, and trying - with a sense of humour and a smile on your face! It's a non competitive practice, with modifications for different levels. All she asks is that you try, and that you practice with a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, rather than expectation, frustration and tension. For Daisy, Yoga has been a consistent friend in her life - especially in times of need - and had nothing to do with perfecting poses!

Across two sessions, participants will be introduced to the ancient yet evolving practices of commonplace-book keeping and the ‘modernised’ digital tools and methods for extracting, indexing, sustaining and networking knowledge fragments from personal notes, anthologies and archives for idea generation. Commonplacing—manifest as the classical vade mecums (‘come with me’ book of phrases for rhetors), the early-modern scholar’s indexed bodies of learnings, the eighteenth-century domestic commonplace books of culinary and medicinal recipes and nineteenth-century collaborative records of readings—is as much a method for knowledge compilation as a way to structure collective (and ‘re-collected’) thoughts. The commonplace book’s modern afterlife may be traced in the Zettelkasten method and micro-blogging sites like Tumblr, which facilitate the systematic storage and dispersal of quotations and other media. The interactive sessions will draw upon the theoretical underpinning of commonplacing as a productive ideation approach as well as new digital tools of translating atomised ‘commonplaces’ (and metadata) into network graphs and databases for visualising potentially hidden connections for research and pedagogy. |
