Consumption - a workshop to highlight the data available from government surveys, Wednesday 7 November 2007 at the Graduate School of Education, Queen's University Belfast
Our roles as consumers and our patterns of consumption are central to who we are, what we do and our consumer society. ESDS surveys allow researchers to look at many different areas of consumption, for example, health and consumption (lifestyle factors such as eating, drinking, smoking, exercise) and environmental consumption (the products we consume and our choices of transportation). This introductory seminar is aimed at those with little or no experience of microdata from government surveys, or those with some experience of these surveys who require an introduction to the consumption content of the datasets. To view the programme and book a place please go to http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/esds/events/2007-11-07/
ESDS Government Annual Research Conference 2007 All Consuming: Consumption research findings from government surveys, Thursday 1 November 2007 at the British Academy, London
This one-day conference focuses on research evidence from large-scale government surveys relating to consumption. Papers cover a range of consumption issues, including consumption by older consumers and children as well as the consumption of food, culture and private transport. The conference will be relevant for those with an interest in consumption and associated policy areas such as expenditure, service planning and health. The day seeks to present research with policy relevance and we particularly welcome attendance from the policy makers, analysts and senior academics. To view the programme and book a place please go to http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/esds/events/2007-11-01/

Teaching Students Event History Analysis: An introduction to resources based around the British Cohort Studies, 13 December 2007 at the Social Sciences Building, City University
This event is aimed at University lecturers and those involved in teaching an introduction to event history analysis to students in the social sciences. The aim is to showcase some of the resources for teaching based around the 1958 and 1970 British Birth Cohort Studies. In addition to presentations from those with experience of teaching students there will also be a practical session to enable participants to try out some of the exercises and resources they may wish to use with students. This work will be based on SPSS. It is also hoped that this event will give participants an opportunity to meet and share ideas with others who are involved with teaching longitudinal analysis and specifically event history analysis in the social sciences. For more information please see www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/rdiworkshop8_ioe
Cemmap Master Class: Robert Porter (Northwestern), 13-14 March 2008 at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, London
This class will consider the empirical analysis of auction markets and bidding. Both positive and normative issues will be discussed. The former includes the analysis of equilibrium bidding behavior, and the latter optimal auction design issues. The emphasis will be on the estimation and testing of game theoretic models. The class will begin by covering the material in the 2007 survey by Ken Hendricks and Rob Porter in Volume 3 of the Handbook of Industrial Organization, and then describe recent developments in the field and open issues. For booking information, please go to http://cemmap.ifs.org.uk/masterclasses.php?event_id=263
Workshop: Ethical Issues in Participatory Research, 17-19 December 2007at Lancaster University
This workshop provides participants with the opportunity to develop an understanding of participatory approaches to research, and to explore the ethical aspects of such research approaches. The workshop will consist of presentations from academic researchers, and from lay researchers who have been involved in research studies. Each workshop session will invite participants to share their own experiences of participatory research and/or to take part in group work sessions to explore ethical issues which relate to participatory research. The event should appeal to those with little, or limited experience of participatory approaches to research (a subsequent 'advanced' workshop, later in the programme will be aimed at those with greater experience of participatory research). This workshop is convened by Professor Carole Truman. For further information and the booking form, please visit our website at http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/events/ethicalresearch or Contact Sheryl Coultas at s.coultas@lancaster.ac.uk, 01524 594100 (Tue, Wed and Thu)
