Join a four-day intensive workshop on multilevel (hierarchical) models taught by Dr Andy Lin, Director of Statistical Methods and Data Analytics at UCLA’s Office of Advanced Research Computing, that pairs rigorous statistical foundations with hands‑on R coding and pragmatic use of ChatGPT/LLMs to accelerate coding, debugging, interpretation, and reproducible workflows. The course moves from single‑level regression to linear and generalized linear multilevel models and covers model specification (lme4, glmmTMB, etc.), random intercepts/slopes and centering, variance partitioning and ICCs, nested and crossed structures, convergence troubleshooting, simulation‑based diagnostics, and communicating results; guided ChatGPT prompt design and practical safeguards are integrated throughout. Format: four half‑day modules with lectures, live coding, take‑home exercises, and a monitored Q&A forum; all livestreams, recordings, code and materials are available for 30 days after the seminar. Prior R and basic regression knowledge assumed; participants will leave able to specify, fit, diagnose, and interpret multilevel models (including non‑Gaussian outcomes) and to use LLMs effectively and responsibly in their workflows; certificates of completion are provided and ECTS‑equivalent credit is indicated for European students.

South Asian Nationalisms - Livestream starting Feb 2, 2026 (UTC) Join the International Association of Political Science Students (IAPSS) for a live, online 10‑week seminar that offers a critical, research-driven examination of nationalism across the South Asian subcontinent—designed for postgraduates and advanced undergraduates who want to move beyond descriptive accounts to interrogate theory, institutions, and contemporary transformations. Across ten sessions you’ll explore nationalism as an “imagined community” made material through state institutions, party systems, law and education; assess religious and civilizational alternatives to secular postcolonial models; and examine tensions between homogenizing impulses and the region’s social, cultural, and linguistic diversity, all situated within interstate dynamics and regionalism. The series emphasizes empirical research skills—working with archival sources, party manifestos, electoral data, media and social‑media corpora, and spatial datasets—and teaches how to operationalize nationalism for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed‑methods comparative research. Led by Allen David Simon (Postgraduate Researcher and Academic Projects Coordinator, IAPSS), the seminar includes live Zoom sessions, a monitored Q&A forum, and access to recordings and materials for 30 days after the program; participants receive an official certificate of completion (ECTS‑equivalent points for European students where shown). Spaces are limited—visit the IAPSS site to enroll or contact the organisers for more information. #InternationalRelations #PoliticalScience #SocialSciences #Anthropology #Sociology #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Qualitative Data Collection Techniques - Livestream starting Feb 2, 2026 (UTC) Join a 4‑day live online workshop that teaches the practical, ethical, and epistemological decisions that shape qualitative data generation—focusing on how interviews, focus groups, and observation produce usable empirical material rather than offering a broad methods overview. Designed for PhD students and early‑career researchers in sociology, anthropology, education, public health, and related fields, the seminar combines short demonstrations, hands‑on exercises, and structured feedback to build skills in designing semi‑structured and narrative interview guides, moderating focus groups, conducting participant observation, producing fieldnotes and transcripts, managing consent and positionality, and preparing methodological templates for theses and journal submissions. All sessions are livestreamed via Zoom; recordings, slides, and materials are available for 30 days after the course and an expert‑monitored Q&A forum remains open for follow‑up; participants receive an Instats certificate (European students can opt to complete tasks for ECTS‑equivalent points). Strengthen the credibility and publishability of your qualitative research—register now to gain immediately applicable techniques, documentation templates, and reflexive practices. #Anthropology #CulturalStudies #Education #Healthcare #Humanities #PoliticalScience #PublicHealth #SocialPolicy #SocialSciences #SocialTheory #SocialWork #Sociology #Communication #Ethics #Epistemology #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Sample Size and Power Analysis - Livestream starting Apr 7, 2026 (UTC) Join Dr. Soleman Abu-Bader (Howard University) for a 1-day live online workshop on sample size determination and statistical power analysis, designed for PhD students, post-docs and academic researchers who need publishable justifications for sample choices; you’ll learn to conduct a priori and post hoc power calculations, translate hypotheses into effect sizes, calculate sample sizes for cluster and multilevel designs, use G*Power with reproducible inputs/outputs ready for manuscripts and grants, and prepare publication-ready reporting language—through a blend of concise theory, stepwise demonstrations, and hands-on exercises using examples from surveys, experiments, multilevel and regression designs. All sessions are via Zoom, recordings and materials (including code, input/output and slides) plus a monitored Q&A forum are available for 30 days after the seminar, and participants receive an Instats certificate of completion (ECTS equivalent where shown). Enroll now to strengthen your grant proposals, ethical justifications, and publication prospects. #SocialSciences #Education #Statistics #SocialWork #G*Power #SPSS #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats
